NetApp syslog truncated

I'm working with the Splunk TA ONTAP 2.1.7 and the NetApp A400 AFF.  The syslog-ng farm we have is receiving the syslog events being sent from the NetApp.  Two problems.  First is the messages don't look like what is in the sample files.

The 7 and C modes don't look anything like the syslog events that are in the syslog-ng.  The second issue is the messages are being truncated.

The above contains incomplete XML.  We have proved to ourselves that the listening port can take longer messages so the thought is the message is truncated at the sender.
 
If anyone has any ideas about why the messages don't look similar, I don't control the NetApp only Splunk, or why the messages get truncated, please let me know.
 
TIA
Joe
