Configure the Settings for the Alerts Log

This option enables an entry to be created in a log file each time HP Web Jetadmin processes an alert. You can control the format of the log file entry, the maximum size of the log file, and turn the logging on and off. This file has a pre-defined path and filename on the server, and that path is shown in Log file path.

The maximum logfile size is enforced by removing the oldest entries whenever new ones are added. New entries are added to the beginning of the logfile and the oldest entries are removed from the end of the logfile.
