Archiving log entries

At regular intervals, the contents of ZAlog.txt are archived to a date-stamped file, for example, ZALog2004.06.04.txt (for June 4, 2004). This prevents ZAlog.txt from becoming too large.

To view archived log files, use Windows Explorer to browse to the directory where your logs are stored.

To set archive frequency:

  1. Select Alerts & Logs, then click Advanced.
  2. Select the Log Control panel.
  3. Select the Log Archive Frequency check box.
     
    If the Log Archive Frequency check box is not selected, ZoneAlarm security software continues to log events for display in the Log Viewer panel, but does not archive them to the ZAlog.txt file.
  4. In the Log Frequency area, specify the log frequency (between 1 and 60 days), then click Apply.

Specifying the archive location

The ZAlog.txt file and all archived log files are stored in the same directory.

To change the log and archive location:

  1. Select Alerts & Logs.
  2. Click Advanced.
  3. The Advanced Alerts & Log Settings dialog box opens.

  4. Select the Log Control panel.
  5. In the Log Archive Location area, click Browse.
  6. Select a location for the log and archive files.
