Hello,

I am trying to send my custom application Windows logs to GrayLog.  I am using GELF TCP.    Our event text is getting cut off.   It looks like our custom events write all of the data to the section GrayLog calls “short message”    I did see the article that said there is a 64 character limit and we did change that with  Exec   $short_message = $raw_message;  in the output section.  This did increase the number of characters shown but there are still plenty more characters getting cut off.  We have NXlog writing to a local file right now so were able to verify that it is NXlog that is cutting off the data.  Is there a way to fix this?   Here is my conf file:

Panic Soft#NoFreeOnExit TRUE

define ROOT     C:\Program Files\nxlogdefine CERTDIR  %ROOT%\certdefine CONFDIR  %ROOT%\conf\nxlog.ddefine LOGDIR   %ROOT%\data

include %CONFDIR%\\*.confdefine LOGFILE  %LOGDIR%\nxlog.logLogFile %LOGFILE%

Moduledir %ROOT%\modulesCacheDir  %ROOT%\dataPidfile   %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pidSpoolDir  %ROOT%\data

<Route 1>  Path        in => file</Route>

This is what the event data shows:

  [The description for EventID 0 from source xxxxxxx cannot be found:  The parameter is incorrect,   ]   

There are several more lines after this that are just not coming over.   I am very inexperienced with this software.  Thank you for your help.
