History Configuration

You can also create a list of properties for which logs have already been created, in
the event that you want to modify or delete the log configurations for those
properties.
Work Flow
Configure all other history objects, including log templates, before using this tool.
The recommended work flow is as follows:
1. Configure log sets, message logs, report logs as required by your application. If
you require archival, create an Archive Device and Archive Groups.
2. Configure the Log Templates. DO NOT create Log Configuration aspects at
this time.
3. Create a new workbook in Excel and initialize the workbook to add the Bulk
Configuration add-ins.
4. Create a list of object properties whose values are to be logged.
5. For each object property, specify the Log Template that meets its data
collection requirements, and specify the name of the Log Configuration aspect.
6. Configure presentation attributes and access name if necessary.
7. Generate a load report to see whether or not you need to adjust the disk space
allocation for file-based logs. Make any adjustments as required.
8. Create new property logs based on the spreadsheet specifications.
9. Verify that all property logs and their respective component logs have been
created.
10. Run the Load Report function again. This time, the report should indicate that
all logs have been created (existing space used = proposed space requirement).
11. Create a backup copy of your database.
12. On all nodes where trend and history logs reside, check the system for
fragmented files, and defragment the applicable disks as required.
