    • CentOS 6.4 on VMware 6.0, Oracle 12.1.0.2 as database backend

      Afer upgrade from 3.2.3 to 3.2.4 we noticed that alerts sended by email and passed to external script are truncated, e.g.:

      E-mail message body format:

      Event time:	{EVENT.DATE} {EVENT.TIME}
      Event id:	{EVENT.ID}
      Event age:	{EVENT.AGE}
      Event ACK:	{EVENT.ACK.STATUS}
      
      Status:		{TRIGGER.STATUS}
      Severity:	{TRIGGER.SEVERITY}
      Name:		{TRIGGER.NAME}
      Expr:		{TRIGGER.EXPRESSION}
      
      Item(1) info:
        Host:		{HOST.NAME1}
        IP:		{HOST.IP1}
        Value:		{ITEM.LASTVALUE1}
      
      Item(2) info:
        Host:		{HOST.NAME2}
        IP:		{HOST.IP2}
        Value:		{ITEM.LASTVALUE2}
      
      Item(3) info:
        Host:		{HOST.NAME3}
        IP:		{HOST.IP3}
        Value:		{ITEM.LASTVALUE3}
      

      Before upgrade:

      Event time:	2017.03.01 10:25:09
      Event id:	5755766
      Event age:	0m
      Event ACK:	No
      
      Status:		PROBLEM
      Severity:	High
      Name:		webserwis SERVER
      Expr:		{*****:web.test.fail[webserwis SERVER].sum(#2)}>1
      
      Item(1) info:
        Host:		*****
        IP:		000.000.000.000
        Value:		1
      
      Item(2) info:
        Host:		*UNKNOWN*
        IP:		*UNKNOWN*
        Value:		*UNKNOWN*
      
      Item(3) info:
        Host:		*UNKNOWN*
        IP:		*UNKNOWN*
        Value:		*UNKNOWN*
      

      After upgrade:

      Event time:	2017.03.06 14:12:31
      Event id:	5842082
      Event age:	0m
      Event ACK:	No
      
      Status:		PROBLEM
      Severity:	High
      Name:		webserwis SERVER
      Expr:		{*****:web.test.fail[webserwis SERVER].sum(#2)}>1
      
      Item(1) info:
        Host:		hostname
        IP:		000.000.000.000
        Value:		1
      
      Item(2) info:
        Host:		*UNKNOWN*
        IP:		*UNKNOWN*
        Value:		*UNKNOWN*
      
      Item(3) info:
        Host:		*UNKNOWN*
        IP:		*UNKNOW
      

      Each e-mail alert is truncated exactly after Item 3 info "IP: *UNKNOW", regardless of prior message length.

      The same is with alert messages passed to external script.

      instead:

      OK/Warning
      2017.03.07 10:53:13
      Application SEVERE error detected
      Host: *****
      Value: 0
      

      we have:

      OK/Warning
      2017.03.07 10:53:13
      Application SEVERE error detected
      Host: *****
      Valu
      

      I've checked the database content and table ALERTS also contains truncated messages, and there is no clear rule by which messages are truncated.
