Settings

Files Advanced can automatically purge old logs and export them to files based on certain policies.

• Automatically purge log entries more than X Y old - When enabled, logs older than a number of days/weeks/months will be automatically purged.
  • Export log entries to file as X before purging - When enabled, exports a copy of the logs before purging them in either CSV, TXT or XML. The exporting is automatically set for 03:00 local server time. This setting cannot be modified.
    • Export file path - Sets the folder where the exported logs will go.

    Note: We recommend exporting the logs to a folder that is outside of the Files Advanced installation folder so that they are not lost on upgrade. The folder you specify must have read/write access for the user account that the Files Advanced Tomcat service is running as. If you haven't changed the defaults, the account should be the Local System account.

• Show timestamps in exported audit logs using X - Lets you choose if your audit logs should use the local server time or another time format (UTC).
