Splitting large message written to stdout, explanation?

[Virendra Negi <virendra.negi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's been over a week I have been chasing this https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/5137

I was unsure how to ensure that the systemd (since I was getting nowhere with rsyslog)  split the message instead of the application program doing this.

Apparently, today I just removed the following section from the `target.service` file

StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=sbagent

And set the MaxMessageSize to 64K and what I saw was the 1.5MB long message that was truncating earlier went through this time without truncation and a split happened the way I wanted it to be.

I'm unsure what caused it hence for the sake of understanding it. I'm writing this. Can someone put some light on it as to why this happened now and not earlier.

Thanks
