Getting Data In

Multi-Line event truncated

Hi all,

I am demoing splunk to see if it's appropriate for the company I work for, one of the problems I have hit is one of the logs I would like it to index has 200+ line XML events. After successfully spending sometime working out how to get it to index the timestamp above the XML and not the timestamps in the XML I have now hit a problem with these events.

When the event hit approx 110 lines / 4026 characters it truncates at that point. Is there some workaround? I was looking at limits.conf but I can't find the right stanza / variable.
