Hi,
The 255 limit in the documentation applies to the whole description (ifAlias).
Each parsed part of it is saved in a separate database field,
and the circuit field was limited to 64 characters. That limit wasn't documented.
I've increased it in revision 15280 (rolling). Once you've updated, apply the database schema update:
./discovery.php -u
After that, the full circuit ID will be saved, and the repeating log messages will stop on their own.

Hi,
Your circuit ID (the value in curly braces {}) is longer than 64 characters, and Observium can't store more than that.
I thought this was a 256 byte limit on the SNMP level from the description?
Where's this 64 byte limit? I didn't see anything here https://docs.observium.org/port_descr_parsing/
It looks like you recently changed it to a longer value, which is why these messages started.
Yea, this one has the patch panel in it which is longer now. This is the first one we pushed like this.
Thanks
