      The server parameter named "maxLogSizeKB" has the connotation of being the "max‍imum size (in KB) of the/a log". Without any additional context most people will interpret "log" as meaning "log file" (aided by the ".log" extension of these files), rather than "log line". Thus people may incorrectly expect this parameter to be related to logfile rotation, as opposed to the summarisation of very long individual log lines.

      As such we should consider renaming "maxLogSizeKB" to "maxLogLineKB".
