the configuration applications.

Event Log Settings
Note Whenever you change the event log policy, the old files are deleted and a new event
log file is created. So it is advisable to take a backup or save the old log file, before
changing the policy.
Setting the Maximum Log Size
You can set the maximum log size from 10 KB to 2 GB. The default log size is 500 KB.
Using a Single Log File
Select “Overwrite the log file” to define a single log file. When the log file reaches its
maximum size, the file is then overwritten, starting at the oldest alert.
