I am remembering that the stock log4j truncates the message at 1K, while newer options (or the log4j appender available on the rsyslog site) don't have this limit.

I'm not a java person, so I don't know the details.

Heya,

So I ran into this problem as well. I was able to solve it with this log4j
appender layout.

   <appender name="syslog-appender"
class="org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender">
       <param name="SyslogHost" value="10.200.11.182"/>
       <param name="Facility" value="USER"/>
       <param name="FacilityPrinting" value="true"/>
       <layout class="org.apache.log4j.EnhancedPatternLayout">
           <!-- notice the ConversionPattern is the same with the
difference of %m%throwable%n
                which prints the stack trace as a single %m escaping the
control characters -->
           <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p | %d{MM-dd-yyyy
HH:mm:ss.SSS} | %t | %c(0) - %m%throwable%n"/>
       </layout>
   </appender>

Specifically the throwable option. Hopefully this is helpful for you.

Eric
