Considerations and limitations sending data to IBM Cloud Logs

There are processing considerations and limitations you need to be aware of when using the Logging agent.

Log length

Logs processed by the Logging agent cannot exceed 16 K in length.

Handling of stringify JSON

How stringify JSON is handled depends on how the log information that is sent.

  • If you sent data by using the Logging agent, which uses Fluent Bit, any stringify JSON is unchanged.

  • If you sent data by using the IBM Cloud Logs API, stringify JSON has escape characters remove from text, log, and JSON fields as part of the API processing.
