Archiving and deleting data log files
Data log files are archived at specified intervals or when a file reaches a specified size. You
may also archive files dynamically. Archived files retain the same name with a .zip file name
extension.
Each time a file is archived, it is considered a version for that particular connection/port. You
may indicate the number of versions that will be retained in the file system - when this value is
exceeded for a connection/port, the oldest archived file version will automatically be deleted.
You may also delete archived files dynamically.
If an appliance or target device name is changed, any current log files associated with the
original name will be closed and archived with their original name. Those files will be
viewable only from the Reports - Data Log Session Files window. Subsequent incoming data
log messages will be written to a new file that has the new unit name.
Similarly, if a target device or appliance is deleted from the DSView software system, any
current log files associated with the unit (and its target devices if the deleted unit is an
appliance) will be closed and archived. These files will be viewable only from the Reports -
Data Log Session Files window.
To specify archiving properties:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click DSView Server in the top navigation bar.
