The last time I checked, the max length of a DS name was 20 bytes
which meant 19 chars with a NULL terminator.

Is that still true?

If so are there any plans to change that? or at least make it configurable
at build time?

Thank you

it is ... but your rrd files will become 'site specific'

Tobi-

The last time I looked there wasn't one place to change the DS name
length. There was one #define, iirc, but that wasn't used everywhere and just changing
the macro did not catch all the cases.

I will check again. Thank you
