Overwriting After a Number of files
Select “Overwrite the log file(s) after” to define the number of files after which the oldest
file is overwritten. When a log file reaches its maximum size, a new file is created until the
specified number of files is reached. You can specify from one to ten files (default is 5
files).
Overwriting After a Number of Days
Select “Overwrite the log file(s) older than” to define the number of days after which the
oldest file is overwritten. When the log file reaches its maximum size, a new file is created
until the specified number of days is reached. You can specify from one to 100 days
(default is 60 days). The number of days is counted from the day when the first alert log
file gets created.
Viewing the Task Log
The task log resides on the server, and is similar to the event log; but records information
about task objects. You can display a snapshot of the task log information on the client.
After connecting to the host (server), you display the task log of the server by selecting the
“TaskLog” node under “Logs” in the tree view. The server can have single or multiple task
log files, depending upon the policy. If the server has more than one task log file, then a
drop down box is displayed from which you select the required log file.
The client gets the latest set of tasks from the log file of the server and displays the
information in the Details View. Up to 25 tasks can be displayed in a set.
Previous and Next Task Sets
The Previous and Next set of tasks buttons are situated below the Details View.
You can display the next set of tasks by clicking the “Next set of Tasks” button. The
current set of tasks is then replaced with the next set of tasks. If there are no more tasks in
the task log, the current set continues to be shown.
You can display the previous set of tasks by clicking the “Previous set of Tasks” button.
The current set of tasks is then replaced with the previous set of tasks. When the first set is
reached, and there are no more old tasks, the “Previous set of Tasks” button is disabled.
