**Gatling version** : 3.11.3 (must be up to date) Hi, I have a test run that needs to log failed result on terminal screen in Gitlab Runner. Everything was fine until runner suddenly marked the test run as failed, checking a little bit, I took a wild guess that Gatling may reach the maximum log size on terminal. Is there a way that I could increase the terminal log limit in Gatling? . Although I may be mistaken, I remembered that if Gatling reaches log size, it will simply continue to run without any terminal output. Can I get confirm on this too ? . Thanks for helping me ---

Hello, I doubt that Gatling is the issue, but can you share with me the error you have on your terminal? ---

Hi Samir, Sadly, Runner terminated itself while Gatling log was still on-screen. But you can try with some test that returns lots of data to quickly fill up. But yes I don’t heavily doubt Gatling on this, but if it were Runner side, it may show something as “Job log has been exceeded x size” ---

Can you relaunch one runner or the issue don’t always happen? ---

Hi @Samir I’ve encountered this issue again, but I connected directly to Runner and saw that Gatling is still running, only Runner’s side got problem. So to avoid this, I have increased `writeInterval` period from 5s to 60s, now everything is okay. Thanks for your kind help. ---
