• [winlogbeat] Windows event log XMLs are truncated if exceed 8KB #41245

Proposed commit message

Fix windows event log ingest issues caused by event message truncation.

1. Increased scratch buffer size from 8K wide characters to 256K wide characters. The scratch buffer is used for efficiency, one buffer per event source. It was set really low.
2. Handling insufficient scratch buffer size condition. Windows API documentation is not very clear about it but the APIs return ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER only when used with nil buffer, otherwise they happily succeed copying as much as the given buffer allows (truncating message). In such case we will retry with an ad-hoc pool buffer of sufficient size. In real world the initial 256K characters buffer should be large enough, so this is really a what-if fallback.
