Figure 2-13. The Event Log Options Window
You can establish an hourly purge of the event cache file by specifying that traps or events
which meet certain conditions be deleted. These conditions are defined by three Event Log
options you select or de-select by clicking in the associated checkbox. The fourth option
— Set log size — allows you to control the overall size of the cache.
Clear deleted events hourly
Checking this option will activate an hourly purge of all events marked as deleted. If this
option is deselected, events marked as deleted will simply be overwritten as the cache
wraps at their position.
Clear acknowledged and closed events hourly
Checking this option will activate an hourly purge of all events that have been
administratively acknowledged or closed during the previous hour. If this option is
deselected, no such purge will take place, and acknowledged and closed events will
simply be overwritten in the normal course of the event cache wrap.
Clear normal and informational events hourly
Checking this option will activate an hourly purge of all events received during the
previous hour that have a severity level of Normal or Informational. If this option is
deselected, no such purge will take place, and normal and informational events will
simply be overwritten in the normal course of the event cache wrap.
Set log size
This option will allow you to change the size of the event cache from between 1000 and
10000 entries; the default size of the cache is 3000 entries.
