Raw json file getting truncated

Using splunk developer version. I've set TRUNCATE to 25000 and max_events to a large number as well, but the information keeps getting truncated in the event window. I'm basically trying to import large amounts of json data from a single file. I know I'm not the only one working with json data so I'm sure the fix is nice and easy.

You can handle it via props configuration for your specific source type.
i.e I am using following stanza which is able to extract raw JSON file of > 8MB.

[cmxmap]
TRUNCATE = 0
KV_MODE = json
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

Try setting the TRUNCATE to 0 to remove the limit, we also had an issue when bringing in large amounts of json data via a REST API which was resolved by setting the "response handler" to "JSONArrayHandler", which specifically handles large amounts of json data... although I am unsure if this relates purely to the REST API

Do you have an extraction_cutoff value set anywhere in your limits.conf files?
