Getting Data In

Why are Windows event logs with MSSQLSERVER$AUDIT as source getting truncated and the message is empty?

Hi,

We have an auditing setup which logs in Windows event logs (Forwarded Events) as "MSSQLSERVER$AUDIT" source.
they are well displayed in event viewer console, but the log is truncated and message is empty :

alt text

here the input file on windows server :
alt text

on the other side "Microsoft Windows Security auditing" events that are in "Forwarded Events" too are correctly sent and parsed in Splunk Indexer.

how come ?
where elsewhere do I have to check ?

Splunk UF is installed on Windows server with the Windows Events Collector

Thanks
