| Type: | number (bytes) |
| Default: | Use the global log-msg-size() option, which defaults to 65536 (64 KiB). |
Description: Maximum length of a message in bytes. This length includes the entire message (the data structure and individual fields). The maximum value that you can set is 268435456 bytes (256 MiB).
For messages using the IETF-syslog message format (RFC5424), the maximal size of the value of an SDATA field is 64 KiB.
NOTE: In most cases, you do not need to set log-msg-size() higher than 10 MiB.
For details on how encoding affects the size of the message, see Message size and encoding.
You can use human-readable units when setting configuration options. For details, see Notes about the configuration syntax.
Uses the value of the global option if not specified.
