Character limit in fields longer then 1024 (truncated with ellipsis)

Hi @GiladanoN,

The APM agents send data to APM server in formats that conform to JSON schemata. For example, the schema for spans is

The schema defines a max length of 1024 for many of the string fields, in order to keep APM index sizes from growing large.

The .NET agent (and I think other agents too) hard limit the size of properties on trace types like Span and Transaction in line with the schema, and add an ellipsis to indicate a value has been truncated. Generally, fields with a max length are not configurable.

Are there particular fields you're using where max length configuration would be useful?
