If the audit log is collected, disk space for saving the audit log is required. Refer to the following for estimates of the required disk space.

Under the following conditions, one log per days requires 25 KB.

An [AuditLogs] folder is created in the specific output folder. In this [Audit- Logs] folder, a folder is created for each date to save audit logs.

The date of a folder corresponds to that of when audit logs are collected in the Central Admin Server. Therefore, the date may differ from that on the scanner when the logs are created.
