NT Eventlog single message size


Can anybody tell me what is maximum size of a windows NT log message? I know that it is possible to reset the maximum log size of event log from 32 MB. I am interested about the memory a single message can hold in NT event log.

Thanks in advance

  • The answer is 32766 characters ~ 32 KB

    See a example below: Error: Log entry string is too long. A string written to the event log cannot exceed 32766 characters.
