maximum field size limits #4
Description
We've run into some problems where Graylog will happily accept a message, but fail to index it because a field is too large. It would be nice to have a setting (GRAYLOG_MAX_FIELD_SIZE?) that checks the records before sending them, and any field over that limit is truncated and a warning is emitted. That way, messages are not silently dropped by Graylog, and there's an indication at the application level that a message was too big. We'll default the setting to 32000 characters, and setting it to None will turn it off.
