  • rollfile

 Accounting logs cannot be disabled.

File Count

File Size

The maximum size (in KB) that a single event log file will ever grow to. Enter a value between in the range (256..65535) KB

Message Queue Size

The number of event log message entries to buffer before writing them to disk. The size may be a value between 2 and 32 (inclusive). Enter a value between in the range 2 and 32.

Save To

Save events. The values are:

  • None - Events are not saved
