How to increase the message size limit?

Hello,
How can I increase the maximum allowed size for messages that the tracker sends over to the backend? My understanding is that the default value is 1MB. In other words, messages above that size will get discarded by the tracker which may mess up with the replays or devtools.

Yes, this variable is named BEACON_SIZE_LIMIT and it defaults to 1MB. Here how you can increase that:

  1. Connect to the OpenReplay backend/instance
  2. Run openreplay -e to edit the config file and add/update the below http block to increase the size (in this example to 10MB):
http:
  ingress:
    annotations:
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: 10m
  env:
    BEACON_SIZE_LIMIT: "10000000"
  1. Save and quit for the changes to take effect
