Windows Event Log summary truncated

We're polling Windows Servers event logs using the Microsoft Windows ZenPack and instructions here - Microsoft Windows

It works, but the Summary field is truncated for all of these events. It looks like the event summary is truncated anytime a period (.) is found. Is there any way to adjust this so the full summary is shown?

There isn't, and it's a long-standing bug introduced around version 5.2. It's been logged as defect ZEN-28560 about a year ago, but to date hasn't seen any movement.

That's a bummer. Seems like a huge shortcoming for anyone monitoring Windows machines. Appreciate the info though. I've voted up the bug and will watch for updates.

FYI for anyone else looking for it - https://jira.zenoss.com/browse/ZEN-28560?filter=-4
