Hi Guys 

I've deployed Graylog to use for a syslog solution.  Currently using 
Sidecar to do the collections of winlogs only.  

Been running a week and started loading some more hosts ... Then Pooooooof, 
graylog fell over.  Initially I was clueless as to whats going on.  

After a bit of digging, I found the dreaded elasticsearch error which seems 
to be quite common   ( bytes can be at most 32766 in length)  

I have found a few articles where people say update the analyser, some 
others that mention setting index to not_analyzed or Index No.  Another 
post mentioned to set ignore_above => 256. 
 
Thing is ... I have no clue where to even try setting these things ?   Can 
anybody shed some light please?  


I have managed to find the actual message that is too large on the 
originating server which is causing the failure.  Turns out to be a HP WBEM 
Dump Event (Id 1001). 

If anyone knows how I can prevent this from happening, or define some sort 
of "exclude" for this message that would be a great help.  


Perhaps, I could instruct sidecar collector to ignore this message ?  Is 
that possible ?   Would any know?  


PS - I have tried this with Graylog 2.1  and just tried with 2.2 as well.   
Both doing the same thing... 

Appreciate your help guys  :) 

Thanks 

Paul.
