hi  
I was trying to parse a some logs (using filebeat and logstash to elastic)and put them as multiline which came to be around 800 lines for each message , but the message in in discover in kibana and logUI in kibana was truncated after 500 lines , so can someone please confirm if the length of the message can be max of 500 lines ?

Thanks
