Hi all
Im sending messages from filebeat to logstash, but the messages are more longers than 30 kb.
Logstash is truncating the messages and I can't process complete.
It's possible to increase this limit?
> beats {
> port =\> 5045
> }
That is my config
Thanks

Actually LS do not truncate, your message has been truncated on FB side.
Go to the filebeat.yml, review params:
- `multiline.max_lines` - The default is 500
- `max_bytes`: The default is 10485760 bytes
- `max_message`\_size - depend on plugin
- `harvester_buffer_size` - The default is 16384 bytes bytes
[Check FB reference](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-reference-yml.html).

Thanks @Rios
I changed the max\_lines params and I'm testing right now.
