[syslog-ng]syslogging snmptraps

[Brian E. Seppanen]

Hello:

I'm using syslog-ng-1.4.11 on a solaris 2.6 host.  The box is likewise
configured as an snmptrap host, which are then logged.

Is there a field length limit for the messages that will be logged with
syslog-ng or syslog in general.  Some traps seem to run out of space and
stop prematurely.

An example below
Jul 10 14:53:09 host snmptrapd[8971]: host: Enterprise Specific
Trap (ciscoNetRegFreeAddressLow) Uptime: 21 days, 10:02:46.00,
