Hi,

it seems that syslog-ng does not use log_msg_size() for its own generated messages, because "Log statistics" messages are cut at exactly 1024 characters, even if 'log_msg_size(32768)' is set in syslog-ng.conf. The used syslog-ng version is 2.0.2.

Balazs, can you confirm my observation?

yes, this is the case. internal messages use a fixed size buffer. I haven't fixed this as I don't like the current STATS (aka Log statistics) message format at all, and I was pondering on changing that. So I can fix it easily to use a larger buffer, but beware, this interface will most probably change in the future. Can you check if this patch fixes your problem? I checked that it compiles, stats messages are reported correctly, and it does not leak.
