What is the maximum length of process arguments that SysEDGE can monitor per platform?
SystemEDGE 5.6.12262 and later (patched via T5I8056/RO51363) extended the maximum supported length of process arguments. Now mostly aligned with the maximum supported length of the operating system as per this table:
Platform | Limit (in bytes) | Notes |
Windows 2000 | 2096 | OS limit |
Windows 2003 | 8096 | OS limit |
Windows 2008 | 32768 | OS limit |
Linux | 4096 | API Limit |
Solaris | Unlimited | Maximum 2048 bytes per argument |
AIX | Unlimited | |
HP-UX | 1020 | API Limit |
Limits in this table apply to internal SystemEDGE structures and thus to the ability to find a process defined by your process monitoring entry.
Additionally, the processArgs and hrSWRunParameters OIDs are limited to 6144 characters to maintain compatibility with SNMP clients. Thus, the maximum process arguments length visible via SNMP is 6k.
