+NOTE: In OpenNMS, logs are essential for monitoring and troubleshooting. By default, the log message size is limited to 500 characters. However, in some cases, such as when viewing detailed proto object logs, you may need to increase the character size to capture the full log details.
+
+=== Steps to Increase Log Character Size
+Locate file `org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg`  in the `${OPENNMS_HOME}/etc/` directory.
+
+Locate the `log4j2.pattern` property in the file. By default, it is set to limit log messages to 500 characters  see `%encode{%.-500m}`

+----
+To increase the character size, modify the `%.-500m` part of the pattern. For example, to increase the limit to 1000 characters, change it to `%.-1000m`:
