Hi everyone,

I have a program that is sending long lines into the logs.... they are arriving 
at the local server and into the logs correctly but are being truncated when 
being received on a remote server, and I can't understand why.

In crontab I have a program being run like so:
*/5 * * * * java  foo |& nc  -w 240 localhost 1516

Basically it's running the java program and redirecting all IO to netcat, which 
is sending it to port 1516 on localhost via the default TCP.  That is working 
fine, and the local logfile has all the content in it.  The problem comes when 
I'm trying to forward to a remote host.  The local file has a line that goes on 
for pages, however the remote end writes the line into the file but truncates 
that line after approximately 950 characters and then does really weird things 
with the rest of that incoming line.  Sometimes it shows up under other servers 
(the destination separates by hostname and tag), sometimes it creates new 
folders with partial names of servers, etc.


Here's my rule that encompasses the local file write and the forward:

template(name="RMS-ForwardDMA" type="list") {
    constant(value="<")
    property(name="pri")
    constant(value=">")
    property(name="timestamp" dateFormat="rfc3339")
    constant(value=" ")
    constant(value="retv6030.na.lzb.hq")
    constant(value=" ")
    constant(value="RMS-DMA:")
    property(name="msg" spifno1stsp="on" )
    property(name="msg")
}
ruleset(name="RMS-DMA-1516-1531"
        queue.filename="Net-1516-1531"
        queue.dequeuebatchsize="1024"
        queue.discardmark="45000"
        queue.DiscardSeverity="0"
        queue.maxDiskSpace="1g"
       queue.saveOnShutdown="on"
        queue.size="50000"
        queue.spoolDirectory="/var/spool/rsyslog"
        queue.type="LinkedList"
){
        action(
                name="omfile-RMS-ForwardDMA"
                type="omfile"
                dynafilecachesize="5"
                DynaFile="DailyPerHostLogDMA"
                template="msgonly-no1sp"
                ioBufferSize="64k"
                flushOnTXEnd="off"
                asyncWriting="on"
                dirCreateMode="0755"
        )
        action(
                name="fwd-monvsyslog-1531-RMS-DMA"
                queue.dequeuebatchsize="1024"
                queue.discardmark="45000"
                queue.DiscardSeverity="0"
                queue.maxDiskSpace="1g"
                queue.saveOnShutdown="on"
                queue.size="50000"
                queue.spoolDirectory="/var/spool/rsyslog"
                queue.type="LinkedList"
                queue.filename="fwd-monvsyslog-1531-RMS-DMA"
                type="omfwd"
                TCP_Framing="octet-counted"
                protocol="tcp"
                Target="monvsyslog.na.lzb.hq"
                Port="1531"
                template="RMS-ForwardDMA"
        )
        stop
}
#setup local port listeners for ecomm
input(type="imudp" port="1516" address="127.0.0.1" ruleset="RMS-DMA-1516-1531")
input(type="imptcp" port="1516" address="127.0.0.1" ruleset="RMS-DMA-1516-1531")



And here's my receiving line:

        if $syslogtag startswith "RMS-DMA:"  then {
                action(name="Net-1531-DMA" type="omfile" dynafilecachesize="50" 
DynaFile="DailyPerHostLogDMA" ioBufferSize="128k" flushOnTXEnd="off" 
asyncWriting="on" dirCreateMode="0755" template="msgonly")
                stop
        }
