250 Managing log files
Configuring automatic archiving
The default value is set to 250 MB. Before changing this value, check the amount
of available disk space. Increasing the value with compression enabled impacts
performance during the compression process. The maximum value allowed is
10,000 MB.
The Network Security console provides a way to edit this value, depending on
the amount of available disk space, the rate of events, and the need for archived
data.
To configure this parameter
1
Click Configuration > Node > Network Security Parameters.
2 In Select Node, choose the node from the pull-down list, and click OK.
3 In the left pane, under Log & Database Parameters, click Size to Trigger
Rotation.
4 In the lower right pane, enter the log size in megabytes.
5 Click Apply.
6 In Apply Changes To, select the node to which to apply the parameter.
7 Click OK to save the changes to this node and close.
Note: If you set this value at too large a number with compression enabled, it
may put excess strain on the node when the logs eventually archive.
See "Setting Compression On/Off Switch"
Setting Limit Size for Archive Directory
Limit Size for Archive Directory indicates the size at which Symantec Network
Security clears the archive directory. If archive data files take more disk space
than indicated by this value, then files are removed, starting with the oldest, to
satisfy the limit.
The default value is 5 GB, and the minimum effective value is 1 GB. If this
parameter is not set, then the archive directory is not cleared at any size.
Note: If Limit Size for Archive Directory is configured to any value greater than 0,
Symantec Network Security automatically clears the archive directory each
time the size limit is breached. If this occurs as you are attempting to view it, an
error message appears. Simply close and reopen the window to refresh the
available contents.
