option to save the list in the Security History log. You
can later import the log file and analyze the data.
Security History stores the information in a separate
file. When the file size reaches its maximum size limit,
information that is related to new events overwrites
the information that is related to older events. You can
export the log periodically, if you want to keep the
entire Security History information.
You can save your log file in one of the following file
formats:
1 Security History Log Files (.mcf)
The .mcf file format is the Security History Log Files
format and is proprietary to Symantec.
When you use this file type option, you can view
the file only in the Security History window.
1 Text Files (.txt)
The data is saved in a comma-separated text format.
When you use this file type option, you can open
and view the file externally without using Security
History.
You can import only the log files that have .mcf file
extension. When you import a log file, the exported list
of Security History information in the log file appears.
This list replaces the current security events list. You
can select an option in the Show drop-down list to view
the option-specific details that are saved in the log file.
To revert to the current Security History list you must
click the Close file: file_name.mcf link.
