I have been trying to index a one line JSON file with 55,000 characters in a single line.
Splunk seems to cut it off around 17,000 characters.

My props.conf

AMANDA JSON FILES
[amanda]
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = json
KV_MODE = none
TRUNCATE = 0
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true

Changed my limits.conf file
[spath]

number of characters to read from an XML or JSON event when auto extracting

extraction_cutoff = 60000
I'll test and let you know.

I have tested changing the setting in the limits.conf file.
Not Luck.
Could it be the search can only show so many characters?
