FEATURE: Make log message max length configurable and bump the default to 2000

README.md

@@ -48,7 +48,9 @@ Logster can be configured using `Logster.config`:
 
 - `Logster.config.allow_grouping` : Enable grouping of similar messages into one messages with an array of `env` of the grouped messages. Similar messages are messages that have identical backtraces, severity and log message.
 
-- `Logster.config.maximum_message_size_bytes` : set a maximum size for messages. Default value is 10,000. If a message size exceeds this limit, Logster will first remove all occurrences of `gems_dir` (more on this config below) from the backtrace and computes the size again; if the message is still above the limit, Logster will remove as many as character as needed from the backtrace to bring the size below the limit. It's discouraged to set this config to a really low value (e.g. less than 2000) because a message needs a minimum amount of data in order to make sense (the minimum amount varies per message), so the closer the limit is to the mimimum amount of space needed, the more of the backtrace will be removed. Keep this in mind when tweaking this config.
+- `Logster.config.maximum_message_length` : set a maximum length for log messages that are shown inside the `info` tab and in the message rows in the UI. Messages that exceed the specified length will be truncated and an ellipsis will be appended to indicate that the message has been truncated. Default value is 2000.

+- `Logster.config.maximum_message_size_bytes` : set a maximum size for message objects. Default value is 10,000. If a message size exceeds this limit, Logster will first remove all occurrences of `gems_dir` (more on this config below) from the backtrace and computes the size again; if the message is still above the limit, Logster will remove as many as character as needed from the backtrace to bring the size below the limit.

Keep this in mind when tweaking this config.
 
 - `Logster.config.max_env_bytes` : set a maximum size for `env`. Default value is 1000. In case `env` is an array of hashes, this limit applies to the individual hashes in the array rather than the whole array. If an `env` hash exceeds this limit, Logster will take the biggest subset of key-value pairs whose size is below the limit. If the hash has a key with the name `time`, it will always be included.
