System Logging

If necessary system (windows / linux) eventlogging can be activated. This means that errors are automatically registered in the Operating System and are kept (basically forever). This is not activated by default.


For activating the system logging simply add the following to the mc config xml or clientConfig xml.
<logging>
    <windowsEventLogEnabled>true</windowsEventLogEnabled>
    <linuxSyslogFacility>local6</linuxSyslogFacility>
</logging>

Maximum total amount of bytes in rolling files

rollingTotalSizeMB
<logging>
    <rollingTotalSizeMB>100</rollingTotalSizeMB>
</logging>

Expiry time of Master Controller and Admin Interface log entries.

Admin Interface / Master Controller log entry expiry time
<logging>
    <logEntryExpiryTime unit="day" multiplier="5" />
</logging>

The logentries in the database are rollingbarreled intentionally from the central database after 5 days. These are best preserved by using archive export functionality, but it is possible to keep them a bit longer by editing the mc config xml.
