15.4.10.6 Logging level

This option defines whether the management server has to collect log events from the registered
machines to the centralized log that is stored in a dedicated database and is available in the Log view.
You can set the option for all the events at once or select the event types to be collected. If you
completely disable collection of the log events, the centralized log will contain only the management
server's own log.

The preset is: Collect logs for All events.

Use the Types of events to log combo-box to specify the types of events that will be collected:

All events - all events (information, warnings and errors) occurred on all the machines registered
on the management server will be recorded to the centralized log

Errors and warnings - warnings and errors will be recorded to the centralized log

Errors only - only errors will be recorded to the centralized log.

To disable collection of the log events, clear the Collect logs check box.

Log cleanup rules

This option specifies how to clean up the centralized event log stored in the management server's
reporting database.

This option defines the maximum size of the reporting database.

The preset is: Maximum log size: 1 GB. On cleanup, keep 95% of the maximum log size.

When the option is enabled, the program compares the actual log size with the maximum size after
every 100 log entries. Once the maximum log size is exceeded, the program deletes the oldest log
entries. You can select the amount of log entries to retain. The default 95% setting will keep most of
the log. With the minimum 1% setting, the log will be nearly cleared.

Even if you remove the log size limit, logging events to an SQL Server Express database will stop after the log
size reaches 4 GB, because SQL Express Edition has the 4 GB per database limit. Set the maximum log size to
approximately 3.8 GB if you want to use the maximum capacity of the SQL Express database.

This parameter can also be set by using Acronis Administrative Template (p. 400).

15.4.10.7 Cloud backup proxy

This option is effective only for connection to Acronis Cloud Storage over the Internet.

This option defines whether the management server will connect to the Internet through a proxy
server.

Note The proxy server must be configured to redirect both HTTP/HTTPS and TCP traffic.

Proxy settings for the agent and the management server are configured separately, even if both are
installed on the same machine.

To set up proxy server settings

1. Select the Use a proxy server check box.
2. In Address, specify the network name or IP address of the proxy server—for example:

proxy.example.com or 192.168.0.1
