Description
Ensure that the location of this
directory has sufficient storage
space to hold Maximum File Size
multiplied by the Maximum number
of archives multiplied by the number
of log files (6 or more).
Larger
When a log file reaches the
Maximum File Size (5000KB by
default), it is archived. When the
maximum number of archives is
reached for a particular log file, the
oldest log file is deleted. Some
security compliance regulations
require that log files are kept for a
minimum period of time. Ensure that
this value is high enough to retain
log files for the required duration.
Checked
Certain log entries will be duplicated
to syslog on Unix based operating
system.
