Problem:
For complex network device configuration with very large interfaces, the automation fails with the following error in MySQL as the custom variable storing the interface configuration will be very large:

Exception while syncing Icinga\Module\Director\Objects\IcingaHost XXX: Storing director_activity_log[] failed: SQLSTATE[22001]: String data, right truncated: 1406 Data too long for column 'new_properties' at row 1

Solution:
MySQL:

  1. Change the data type of old_properties and new_properties column in director_activity_log table to MEDIUMTEXT
  2. Change the data type of varvalue column in icinga_host_var table to MEDIUMTEXT

PostgreSQL:
No changes required as the data type text already allows storing of string up to the size of 1GB.

Postgres doesn't require this update, because the datatype `text` can already store a string upto 1GB.
