the size of captured error output of "check program" is too small, can't get useful information from the alert email

Here is the alert email:

Your faithful employee,
Monit

the description field just too small to store all info of the error, I need the traceback to debug what was happened...

please help, thanks!

We believe this is fixed in the latest Monit version, where up to 1kB is read from the program. Please make sure that you are running Monit 5.13.

$ monit -V
This is Monit version 5.6

I will try the latest version, thanks. BTW, could the size be configurable? Maybe 1KB still too small :)
