Note
Allowed log batch size is up to 16 MB, but receipt this big is not guaranteed.
Before it is written, each batch of logs has to be validated. Monium Logs checks timestamps, compliance with limits, and validity of formats.
If the metadata value exceeds the limit, Monium Logs truncates it to a valid size.
If some logs fail to appear in the interface, check the sending parameters and check the data for compliance with specified limits.
