Configuring a log archive is carried out in the Settings tab of the log management utility.

To configure a log archive, you must perform the following steps:

1. In the Archive location field (1), enter the complete path to the directory to which the event logs should be moved after archiving.

   To set the path using standard Windows methods, click

   

2. In the Archive logs every...hours field (2), enter the interval for event log archiving, in hours.
3. In the Log restrictions group, set the following parameters:
   
   1. In the Retention period field (3), indicate the maximum retention time in days of a log in the archive, after which the log is deleted.
   2. In the Size field (4), indicate the maximum size of the archive, above which the oldest logs are deleted from the archive.

   Archive disk space restrictions take priority over log retention time restrictions. For example, the oldest logs will be automatically deleted even if their retention time has not expired, if the archive size has exceeded the maximum value

   If it is not necessary to impose any limitations on log retention period and/or size, clear the corresponding check boxes in the Log restrictions (3-4)

4. Click OK (5) to save changes.

Configuration of the log archive is now complete.
