Command output limiting
Command output limiting reduces database space by capping the total amount of command output response data recorded per command, in remote SSH sessions.1
Open the Monitoring tab
On the Editing Client / Editing Client Group page, select the Monitoring [Linux] tab.
2
Set the limit
In the Command Output Limiting section, set The Command Output limit (KB). Default: 500. A value of 0 disables the limit entirely.
A new limit only applies to SSH sessions started after the change - sessions already in progress keep the previous limit.
After updating to Syteca 7.0.50 or later (which introduced this parameter), existing Clients default to 500 KB automatically.
