https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281 Summary: Feature - allow for longer program name Product: syslog-ng Version: 3.5.x Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: unspecified Component: syslog-ng AssignedTo: bazsi@balabit.hu ReportedBy: erempel@uvic.ca Type of the Report: --- Estimated Hours: 0.0 Given the specification for the structured syslog protocol (RFC 5424) allows for an application name to be 48 characters and that the process ID is separate and it is permitted to be 128 characters, it seems unreasonable to truncate the program/PID combination to 32 characters. I realize that the 32 character limit is in the RFC 3164 document, but other syslog systems (rsyslog for example) do not enforce this limit. I propose that you permit the program and PID together (the TAG) to be up to 48 characters is length. Specifically, I am having problems with the very common crond TAG entries of the form run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[19482] run-parts(/etc/cron.monthly)[10274] which are being truncated by the syslog-ng server.
