Changing the Windows EventLog size

Introduction
The Windows EventLog resides on the server and stores a record of all events
that occur on the server. When you install Symposium Call Center Server, the
installation program sets certain default sizes for the various Windows log files.
If you change the size settings, the results affect the entire server.
.
Event wraparound
The EventLog size is fixed. It does not increase in size as new events are added
to the log. When the log is full and a new event is generated, the server removes
the oldest event report in the log and replaces that report with the newest one.
Changing the size of the log files
If you reduce the size of the event logs, the server can store fewer events. If you
increase the size of the event logs, you reduce the amount of available disk space
on the server, which may slow response times for retrieving events from the
Event Browser.
Default event log size
During a Symposium Call Center Server installation, the log settings are set to
the following values:
Log name
Application Log
