How to increase php syslog maximum limit of 2048

Question

Is there a simple way to log message greater than 2048 char using syslog? e.g raw response of a curl request.

// msg is a string > 2048 char. This truncates message to 2048 chars
syslog(LOG_DEBUG, msg);

Answer 1

The 2K limit might come from rsyslog, too (it's the default limit). You should be able to change it with something like:

$MaxMessageSize 10k

And put it somewhere at the beginning of the config:

Centralized rsyslog : max size of message
