Configure system, event and audit logging
XProtect Go can generate various logs.
To configure logging, do the following:
1. Expand Advanced Configuration, right-click Logs and select Properties.
2. Specify properties (see "Log properties" on page 143) for your system logs, including the event
log and the audit log. Administrators can only disable/enable audit logging. All other logs are
compulsory.
3. Save your configuration changes by clicking Save in the yellow notification bar in the upper-
right corner of the Management Application.
Log properties
Your system can generate various types of logs. When you configure logs, you can define the
following:
Logs (Management Application log, Recording Server service log, Image Server service log, and
Image Import service log)
Name Description
Path
These log files are by default placed in the appropriate All Users
folder for the operating system you are using.
To specify another location for your log files, type the path to the
required folder in the Path field, or click the browse button next to
the field to browse to the required folder.
Days to log
A new log file is created each day the Management Application
and/or the services are used. A log file older than the number of
days specified in the field is automatically deleted. By default, the
log file will be stored for seven days. To specify another number of
days (max. 9999), simply overwrite the value in the field. The
current day's activity is always logged, even with a value of 0 in the
field. Therefore, if you specify 0, you will log current day's activity; if
you specify 1, you will keep one day plus the current day's activity,
and so on.
