That is the default maximum, however it is modifiable by going into the /src directory (of the install package) and running "make setmaxagents", this will prompt you asking for a new maximum value. You will then need to recompile to take advantage of the new value. We currently use 4096 (with close to 2000 active agents) with no issues.

There's a warning which is seen in the log files which states: INFO: Maximum number of agents allowed: '256'. Does anyone know if this is an actual limit, or simply recommended? Also if it is breached, does this have any impact on the service? If so, is there anyway to increase this amount?
