Figure 2-13. The Event Log Options Window

You can establish an hourly purge of the event cache file by specifying that traps or events which meet certain conditions be deleted. These conditions are defined by three Event Log options you select or de-select by clicking in the associated checkbox. The fourth option

— Set log size — allows you to control the overall size of the cache.

Clear deleted events hourly

Checking this option will activate an hourly purge of all events marked as deleted. If this option is deselected, events marked as deleted will simply be overwritten as the cache wraps at their position.

Clear acknowledged and closed events hourly

Checking this option will activate an hourly purge of all events that have been administratively acknowledged or closed during the previous hour. If this option is deselected, no such purge will take place, and acknowledged and closed events will simply be overwritten in the normal course of the event cache wrap.

Clear normal and informational events hourly

Checking this option will activate an hourly purge of all events received during the previous hour that have a severity level of Normal or Informational. If this option is deselected, no such purge will take place, and normal and informational events will simply be overwritten in the normal course of the event cache wrap.

Set log size

This option will allow you to change the size of the event cache from between 1000 and 10000 entries; the default size of the cache is 3000 entries.
