250 Managing log files Configuring automatic archiving The default value is set to 250 MB. Before changing this value, check the amount of available disk space. Increasing the value with compression enabled impacts performance during the compression process. The maximum value allowed is 10,000 MB. The Network Security console provides a way to edit this value, depending on the amount of available disk space, the rate of events, and the need for archived data. To configure this parameter 1 Click Configuration > Node > Network Security Parameters. 2 In Select Node, choose the node from the pull-down list, and click OK. 3 In the left pane, under Log & Database Parameters, click Size to Trigger Rotation. 4 In the lower right pane, enter the log size in megabytes. 5 Click Apply. 6 In Apply Changes To, select the node to which to apply the parameter. 7 Click OK to save the changes to this node and close. Note: If you set this value at too large a number with compression enabled, it may put excess strain on the node when the logs eventually archive. See "Setting Compression On/Off Switch" on page 252. Setting Limit Size for Archive Directory Limit Size for Archive Directory indicates the size at which Symantec Network Security clears the archive directory. If archive data files take more disk space than indicated by this value, then files are removed, starting with the oldest, to satisfy the limit. The default value is 5 GB, and the minimum effective value is 1 GB. If this parameter is not set, then the archive directory is not cleared at any size. Note: If Limit Size for Archive Directory is configured to any value greater than 0, Symantec Network Security automatically clears the archive directory each time the size limit is breached. If this occurs as you are attempting to view it, an error message appears. Simply close and reopen the window to refresh the available contents.
