If you get warnings saying "Output from SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS was truncated" that means that a very large deadlock are causing the output to be truncated. The consequence is that data for many of the InnoDB related data sources will be missing. For solutions to this problem see http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2006/08/08/how-to-deliberately-cause-a-deadlock-in-mysql/
