Log Archival
HySecure Gateway performs logging of various kinds of logs like HySecure logs, Appliance logs, User logs, Admin logs, EPS logs, etc. The log files get archived on the device itself as per the Log Archiving Process.
Log Archiving Process
- The Archiving process starts at the configured frequency. By default, logs are archived every month.
- There is a maximum number of archived files that can be configured per log file type, such as a User log file and a running log file. The maximum number of archived files can be configured, with a default value of 5.
- The archiving process checks to see if the running file has crossed the configured file size for rotation. If so, it archives the running log file and deletes the oldest archived log file. All subsequent logs get logged into the running log file. The default value of file size is 10 MB.
