Configuring the Task Log

You can configure the server task log from the client:

  1. Select the "control panel" node in the tree view. The details view appears, listing all the configuration applications.
  2. Launch the "Task Log" configuration application by double clicking on it.
    Note   Note    Whenever you change the task log policy, the old files are deleted and a new task log file is created. So it is advisable to take a backup or save the old log file, before changing the policy.

Setting the Maximum Log Size

You can set the maximum log size from 10 KB to 2 MB. The default log size is 500 KB.

Using a Single Log File

Select "Overwrite the log file" to define a single log file. When the log file reaches its maximum size, the file is then overwritten, starting at the oldest alert.

Overwriting After a Number of files

Select "Overwrite the log file(s) after" to define the number of files after which the oldest file is overwritten. When a log file reaches its maximum size, a new file is created until the specified number of files is reached. You can specify from one to ten files (default is 5 files).
