System Discovery Causes the Windows Event Viewer Application Log to Become Full

Managing the Windows Event Viewer
Application Log
The event viewer has 3 logs: an Application log, a Security log, and a System log. Each
log can contain a limited number of entries; for example, 512 KB. The Application log can
hit the maximum size when you are running the TSM Service Application (but not the
OSM Service Connection) or performing a system discovery using the OSM or TSM
Low-Level Link. To prevent a log from becoming full, clear or reconfigure the log. You
can change the size of the log and select options such as "Overwrite events as needed"
and "Overwrite events older than xx days." Normally, the default is "Overwrite events
older than 7 days."
To clear the Application Log:
1 Log on as an administrator or a member of the administrator's group.
2 On the task bar, select Start>Settings>Control Panel, and then double-click
Administrative Tools and Event Viewer. The Event Viewer window appears.
3 In the control tree pane, click the log you want to clear.
4 Select Action>Clear all Events. A message appears "Do you want to save xx
Log before clearing it?" Click Yes to save the log entries. Click No to
permanently discard the entries.
5 Close the Event Viewer window.
