Log properties

Your system can generate various types of logs. When you configure logs, you can define the following:

General Logs

Management Application log, Recording Server service log, Image Server service log, and Image Import service log

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 for each day on which events occur. 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.

Event Log

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 for each day on which events occur. 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.

Audit Log

Enable audit logging

Audit logging is the only type of system logging which is not compulsory. Select/clear the check box to enable/disable audit logging.

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 for each day with audit logging enabled and client user activity. A log file older than the number of days specified in the field is automatically deleted. By default, the log file is stored for seven days. To specify another number of days (max. 9999), overwrite the value in the field. The current day's activity is always logged (provided audit logging is enabled and there is user activity). Therefore, if you specify 1, you keep one day plus the current day's activity. Note that if you specify 0 (zero), audit log files are kept indefinitely (disk space permitting).

Minimum logging interval

Minimum number of seconds between logged events. Specifying a high number of seconds between logged events may help reduce the size of the audit log. Default is 60 seconds.

In sequence timespan

The number of seconds to pass for viewed images to be considered to be within the same sequence. Specifying a high number of seconds may help limit the number of viewed sequences logged and reduce the size of the audit log. The default is ten seconds.
