You are using syslog output and input to move events between logstash instances? I would suggest switching to a lumberjack output and a beats input. If you are really married to syslog you can do something like [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-output-syslog-full-json-in-message/142642/6) to send the entire event.
