There is no workaround for this limitation.
For example, if the record to be logged is Mementos1~1098~Failure~6723419876540987654~1.5~True, then, this entire record does not get logged into the Microsoft Active Directory HP Performance Agent Class. This is because the 4th metric exceeds the limit.
There is no workaround for this limitation.
Workaround: Upgrade the node to HTTPS agent.
Workaround: Deploy the English version of the Discovery policy (ADSPI_Discovery) on the nodes.
