Syslog Truncation / Size Limit?
I searched and could not find an answer to this, and am having difficulty, so I would appreciate any assistance that can be offered.
We're experiencing logs that are having all characters after the 850th one written being truncated. I am wondering if there is a default limit to the syslog daemon, if it's possible to change this, and if so, how. If there's not, and there's a workaround, that would help too.
I appreciate any help.

razor2::syslog
Razor2::Syslog(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Razor2::Syslog(3pm)
NAME
Razor2::Syslog -- Syslog support for Razor2
SYNOPSIS
use Razor2::Syslog;
my $s=new Razor2::Syslog(Facility=>'local4',Priority=>'debug');
$s->send('see this in syslog',Priority=>'info');
DESCRIPTION
This module has been derived from Net::Syslog. Some optimizations were made to Net::Syslog, in particular support for keeping a socket
open. What follows is the documentation for Net::Syslog, which completely applies to this module.
Net::Syslog implements the intra-host syslog forwarding protocol. It is not intended to replace the Sys::Syslog or Unix::Syslog modules,
but instead to provide a method of using syslog when a local syslogd is unavailable or when you don't want to write syslog messages to the
local syslog.
The new call sets up default values, any of which can be overridden in the send call. Keys (listed with default values) are:
Name <calling script name>
Facility local5
Priority err
SyslogPort 514
SyslogHost 127.0.0.1
Valid Facilities are: kern, user, mail, daemon, auth, syslog, lpr, news, uucp, cron, authpriv, ftp, local0, local1, local2,
local3, local4, local5, local6
Valid Priorities are: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug
