Logging to syslog

Question

I have a syslog target, with rate limit 1000 events/second, for error priority. I have another log target, target type as file, for error priority. The problem I have, there is one field(response payload after encryption) that gets truncated, within syslog. I use xsl:message for logging. The messages logged to the file

It sounds like a configuration change needed for the syslog server. Could anyone please give some guidance, anyone faced a similar issue? Any configuration, present for syslog server to increase the limit for logs?

Adding to it, found this link useful for syslogd, for supporting longer syslog messages.

Truncated syslog messages

The below are the steps for icreasing the message length As root, follow these simple steps:

This is pretty safe, but just in case: cp -p /usr/sbin/syslogd /usr/sbin/syslogd.bak
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd/
vi syslogd.c
find this line in that file (line 71 for me):

#define MAXLINE 1024 /* maximum line length */

... and change '1024' to the value you need (maybe 2048 or 4096).
make obj && make depend && make && make install
/etc/rc.d/syslogd restart
