Why are my syslog messages truncated at 1024 characters?

asked by palegreen 3 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
