Kafka modular input message is trimmed if message is longer, where can I change that ?

Hey

I am pulling data from kafka topic, and some larger message jsons are being cut after X characters.

Because of that json format is incomplete and splunk does not recognise event as json type.

Can you please let me know where can I change message/event size >

Thanks

In props.conf for your sourcetype , update the TRUNCATE value.
