One of my container outputs a long array of hashes and logstash logs that array into logstash-\* index, however due to length of the array, logstash also truncates message as well, causing my app not to work properly (as I reply on that information).

Is there a way to set truncating limit higher? or any other ideas would be appreciate)

Please advise.
