 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Using the template available at: : https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/rabbitmq ;
  2. Add it for monitoring in a Query in your RabbitMQ that returns more than 64KB of Information ;

Result:

Results in the impossibility of monitoring due to the limit of "Text item value is limited to 64KB", as informed in: 
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/config/items/item#text_data_limits

Expected:

From what I looked for in the official documentation, this limit has not been changed.

So, I suggest changing the Template as below:

Adding o Query fields in RabbitMQ: Get queues item:

columns

name,node,vhost,memory,messages_ready,consumers,messages,message_stats,messages_ready_details,messages_unacknowledged,messages_unacknowledged_details

In this way, we avoid breaking the monitoring due to the 64KB size limit of the Text Item.

Database value size limitation doesn't affect dependent items. Even if value is truncated before it is stored in DB, dependent items receive all the data from master item before it will be saved.
