Help¶

As each syslog message needs to fit to UDP packet, set this value so that messages are not truncated. The RFC 5426 recommends that for IPv4 the size is 480 octets and for IPv6 the size is 1180 octets. As each buffer will use RAM, the value should be selected so that typical messages will fit the buffer.

LOG_BACKEND_NET && !LOG_FRONTEND && !LOG_MINIMAL && LOG

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Defaults¶

1180 if NET_IPV6
480 if NET_IPV4
