Configuring Log Events Settings

The log type has its own settings that allow you to specify which events are logged, the maximum file size, and whether to log events to system log server in addition to logging them locally.

To configure log event categories:

  1. Select System > Log/Monitoring.
  2. Click the Settings tab to display the configuration page.
  3. Complete the configuration as described below.
  4. Save the configuration.

To configure log events for each local log category, you must perform this procedure on each local log tab: Events, User Access, and Admin Access.

Guidelines

Maximum Log Size

Max Log Size

Specify the maximum size of the local log. The default is 200 MB. The maximum is 500 MB. The default is a good choice for logs formatted with the Standard format. If you use a more verbose format, such as WELF, specify a larger value.

When the local log reaches the maximum log size, the current data is rolled over to a backup log file. A new, empty, file is then created for all subsequent (new) log messages. The log viewer displays the most recent 5000 log messages (the display limit). If the current log file contains fewer than 5000 log messages, older log messages from the backup log file can be displayed, up to a total of 5000 log messages. This makes the log files appear as one, even though they are stored separately.

When you save the log messages or use the FTP archive function, the backup log file is appended to the current log file and is then downloaded as one log file. If the log files are not archived or saved by the time they are rolled over again, the oldest log messages (saved in the backup log file) are lost.
