Originally created by @fischerdouglas on GitHub (May 13, 2020).

I have made a considerable search on the docs on github of the Windows Terminal and I didn't find the way to increase the log buffer of the sessions.
I din't find the attribute on the settings.json

I work with network devices configurations, and some equipment have tens o thousand lines...
If I need to get all the config on the buffer, it cuts the beginning of the config...

For what I could see, it just keep +/-9000 lines on the buffer.

How to increase it?

Perhaps try the historySize setting?

From the docs:

Property Necessity Type Default Description
historySize Optional Integer 9001 The number of lines above the ones displayed in the window you can scroll back to.

It Worked!
Sorry... I Acted like a noobie... But I didn't searched for other words the "log" an "buffer"...

Maybe fits here a suggestion to improve the description of that property?
