Modifying an Event Log’s Full Action
This procedure is used to control the behavior of an event log when it
reaches its maximum capacity of messages. This is referred to as an
event log’s full action. An event log can either delete the oldest entries as it
adds new entries or stop adding new entries to preserve the log contents.
Note
Event messages are sent to syslog servers even when the logs are
full.
To configure the full action of an event log:
1. From the Home page, click the Configuration button.
2. From the Configuration menu, click the System button.
3. Select the Event Log tab, shown in Figure 30 on page 108.
4. Under Current Log Outputs, select Output 0, Permanent, to configure
the log in permanent memory, or Output 1, Temporary, to configure the
log in temporary memory.
5. Click the Modify button. An example of the Modify Event Log Output
window is shown in Figure 33.

7. Click the Apply button.

Config button in the Configuration menu.
