Using the Log Cleaner

The Log Cleaner can be used to automatically clear the logs to remove the obsolete events and preserve the disk space.

To configure the Log Cleaner:

  1. From Outpost Firewall's menu, select Tools.

  2. Select Log Viewer to open the Log Viewer. For details see also Viewing logs.

  3. On the File menu click Log Cleanup Options

  4. Set the log cleanup policy:

    1. Specify the number of days after which events are considered outdated;

    2. Specify  maximum number of events to keep in the log;

    3. Specify the log database size limit – value that determines how large the log database can grow.  

Tip

 You can either use same settings for all logs, or specify individual settings for each of them.

Note

Log Cleaner analyzes the specified settings to determine which one exactly results in the smaller database size and then cleans the log to meet the setting’s requirements. See the User Guide for more information.
