NT: About event log's maximum string length

NTDEV
1

Hi!All,

My driver wants to write some message to NT’s event log.
And I specify 4 variants(%2…%3…%4…%5 ) of string in my MC file.
But if the total string length(%2+%3+%4+%5 ) is over 49, my driver will fail to call
“IoAllocateErrorLogEntry”.
Is it possible to make driver write more characters to event log?

Thank you in advance!
Best Regards

I don’t mean to be flippant, but it’s obvious that you have not read the
documentation. The maximum size of an event log entry is 256. This 256
includes the mandatory header, dump areas and strings that you may use to
describe the error.
