net.dns.record items over 255 bytes.

I don't see any caveats listed here:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/items/itemtypes/zabbix_agent#net.dns.record

Works fine with MX record checks, but I am struggling with NS and TXT records, probably due to the length of the record.
NS record check - net.dns.record[1.1.1.1,{HOST.NAME},NS,,,tcp]



Cuts off at 255 bytes. Trying TCP mode instead was an attempt at troubleshooting [manual check at 1735] but it made no difference.
TXT record check - net.dns.record[1.1.1.1,{HOST.NAME},TXT]



This is garbage, randomised on each iteration.

Are you sure that the data is cut short? Or is it just that Latest data does not show more than 255 characters?

In addition to what Markku said, is it possible that the Type of information for your item is set to Character and not Text? It kind of sounds like the text data limit of 255 characters (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...xt-data-limits)

Fair enough, voted.
I would have edited the thread title to match the issue but that doesn't seem to be possible.
