Managing log settings
Use the following steps to view or change search the tasks log settings:
1. Select DeviceLock Content Security Server > Search Server > Tasks > Log Viewer in the console tree, right-click in the details pane, and then click Settings.
2. In the dialog box that appears, view, or change the following settings:
•Control log size - Select this check box to allow the server to control the number of records in the log and delete outdated records. If this check box is cleared, the server uses all available database space to store the log.
•Keep events for last <number> days - Select this option to store records no older than a certain number of days. Then, specify the desired number of days. The default setting is 365 days.
•Maximum log size: <number> records - Select this option to store no more than a certain number of records. Then, specify the desired number of records, and select the server action to be performed when the log reaches the maximum size:
•Overwrite events as needed - New event records continue to be stored when the maximum log size is reached. Each record of a new event replaces the oldest record in the log.
•Overwrite events older than <number> days - New event records replace only records stored longer than the number of days specified. The supported setting is up to 32,767 days.
•Do not overwrite events (clear log manually) - New event records are not added when the maximum log size is reached. To enable the server to add new records, the log must be cleared by hand.
Important: If the log has no space for new records and log settings do not allow the deletion of old records, then the server does not add any new records to the log. |
To use the default log size, select the option Maximum log size and click Restore Defaults. The default log size settings are as follows:
•Maximum log size: 10,000 records
•Overwrite events older than 7 days
3. When finished, click to OK.
