Hello all,
I have a problem with syslog-ng that is quite strange. We have been running syslog-ng for a while now, it has worked fine but today i noticed one thing that is not that good at all. It seems like when loglines get too long, syslog-ng just truncates them. I looked around in the sources and found a define in syslog-ng.h, MAX_LOG_LINE. I boosted it up to 4096, recompiled, deployed the new binary but the problem remains..
Any ideas?
I could be wrong, but I thought the "standard" for syslog was 1024 charactors, and not a byte more, per line. Is it possible the sender of the logs is truncating? Or depending on your kernel and syslog on that platform, perhaps the kernel is helping out and enforcing this line length. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- __o Bradley Arlt Email: arlt@cpsc.ucalgary.ca o__ _ \<_ WWW: www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~bdarlt _>/ _ (_)/(_) -Eat well, sleep peacefully, drink lots, and ride like hell.
