Why are my syslog messages truncated at 1024 characters?

asked by palegreen 23 days ago

Long lines arrive cut off, including the ones with full command lines, which are the ones I actually want.

rfc3164 says 1024 and plenty of things still implement exactly that

rsyslog: global(maxMessageSize="64k") and it has to come before any input is defined or it is silently ignored. that last part catches everyone

also if you are on udp a 64k datagram is not making it anyway
