OS - Packages - not fully populated

[ashleyfarrall]

OS - Packages are not being fully populated in Zabbix history, only going to 2045 lines and 67,548 character length, so I keep getting a parse failure on the last package when trying to scan.

Though when testing the OS - Packages item on a host it returns a full list.

Is there a setting that I need to change?

I think this might be due to the text data limits in the zabbix database which is truncating the output to 65536 bytes?

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/5.0/manual/config/items/item#text_data_limits

Is there a workaround?

I've realised that just setting "head -n 2047" on half the machines I'm monitoring and "tail -n 2047" on the other half will workaround the issue.
