TITLE :Error Messages in Event Log Service Caused by File Size Limit
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The following error messages may occur in Event Log Service due to the
default file size limitations or default Event Log Wrapping in Event Log
Settings:
The application log file is full.
-or-
The system log file is full.
CAUSE
=====
The above error messages are really not error messages. They are warning
messages. They may occur if the default settings of 512K is exceeded by the
log file. They may also occur if the Event Log Wrapping is not set to
Overwrite Events As Needed. The file sizes can be viewed in File Manager.
The files are APPEVENT.EVT and SYSEVENT.EVT; they are located in the
%WINROOT%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG directory.
RESOLUTION
==========
To avoid the above messages, do the following:
1. Open Administrative Tools, Event Viewer and Log.
2. Select Log Settings.
3. Change Maximum Log Size for each log to the desired size, depending on
the hard disk space available, or select Overwrite Events As Needed from
the Event Log Wrapping.
