What is the maximum length for a REST/SDK query in RSA NetWitness?

Issue

What is the maximum number of characters in a REST/SDK query?

Resolution

Internally RSA Security Analytics/NetWitness appliances are using the C++ string type to hold the SDK-call message.
The maximum length will be decided by the std::basic_string::max_size of C++ language.
On a popular system such a number is 4294967294.

Please note that the REST call from a web browser has limit of 8192 bytes which is the limit of HTTP GET request.
