What happens if a semantic attribute value exceeds the character limit in Dynatrace?

When a semantic attribute value exceeds the character limit in Dynatrace, the value is truncated. This means that only a portion of the value that fits within the specified character limit will be retained, while the excess characters beyond that limit will be cut off. This behavior is important for ensuring that data fits within system constraints and can be processed efficiently without causing errors or disruptions.

In the context of monitoring and observability, this design helps maintain data integrity and allows for consistent log formatting. While truncation ensures that data is still captured within the confines of the system, it's crucial for users to be aware of this behavior to avoid potential loss of important information that could be crucial for analysis or debugging efforts.
