Those are almost always longer than 32B.
you are correct, the program 'gmetric' can send values that are larger than 32 bytes, but gmetric interfaces directly with the C-based gmond library. but, you can't send value longer than 32 bytes when you interface with the python gmond code -- storage space for values are hardcoded to 32 bytes. - gb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
