looks like you might be running into the maximum message size.
Try setting the syslog-ng configuration item

log_msg_size(64K);

Using a RAW TCP seems to be loosing some of the beats header data and messages are getting concatenated. 

Trying different options but I'm fumbling. 

  syslog-ng[4596]: Unparsable JSON stream encountered; input='=net"},"message":"Synchronization of a replica of an Active Directory naming context has begun.\n\nDestination DRA:\tCN=NTDS Settings,CN=...blaaa"

source s_BEATS          {network(port(5140) flags(no-parse));}

parser p_json {

    json-parser (prefix(".json."));

};

log { source(s_BEATS);  parser(p_json); destination (d_file); };

Anyone have a howto or blog for using syslog-ng with json inputs ?  

I'm looking at the syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides but it's hard to put all the input output and parser requirements together.  

Trying to get here 

winlogbeat->syslog-ng->ES   

winlogbeat->syslog-ng->SPLUNKForwader

winlogbeat->syslog-ng->/opt/syslog-ng/logs/$FROM_HOST.json 

or 

winlogbeat->logstash->syslog-ng->ES   

...

As far as I know those tools simply send the data over TCP in JSON format.
If you just need to do routing using syslog-ng, you can simply use network
source with flags(no-parse). If you need to process the data using
syslog-ng, you'll also need the json-parser().
