7 Select the events you want AFP service to log.
An entry is added to the log when a user performs an action you select.
When you choose the number of events to log, consider available disk space. The more
events you choose, the faster the log le will grow.
8 To specify how often the error log le contents are saved to an archive, select “Error
Log: Archive every __ days” and enter the number of days.
9 Click Save.
You can keep the archived logs for your records or manually delete them to free
disk space when they’re no longer needed. Log les are stored in /Library/Logs/
AppleFileService/. You can use the log rolling scripts supplied with Mac OS X Server
to reclaim disk space used by log les.
