Maximum SPLUNK_LOGGING_DRIVER_BUFFER_MAX Value

When using the Splunk Logging Driver for Docker, you can leverage SPLUNK_LOGGING_DRIVER_BUFFER_MAX to set the maximum number of messages held in buffer for retries. The default is 10 * 1000 but can anyone confirm the maximum value that can be set?

It would help if you told us where this setting is. You can't expect us to know everything that has the word "splunk" anywhere and be able to administer anything you throw at us. Yes, we're good but maybe not that good 😉

Apologies - you are right! Added context. This is in relation to the Splunk Logging Driver for Docker. Thanks!

I suppose it's more of a Docker question than a Splunk one. Having said that, I'd expect it to have no "practical" max value. It's probably more of a performance/resources thing (if you set it too high and let it gather those undeliverable messages you could hit OOM-killer and such).
