Enterprise Vault services and tasks all write their diagnostic logging information to the standard Enterprise Vault Event Log. You can view the event log by using the standard Windows Event Viewer.
The amount of diagnostic logging information output depends on the diagnostic logging level you set for that service or task. Enterprise Vault generates many log entries. You must take some action to make sure that the log files do not grow too large.
The Windows Event Viewer provides the following ways to ensure that the log files are the proper size:
The default setting for the Event Viewer is for new events to replace old events. This ensures that all events are logged.
You can specify a length of time to keep all log entries before they can be overwritten.
You can set a maximum size for the log file, to make sure that the log file contains as much history as you are likely to need.
You can keep all log entries and clear the log file manually, using the Event Viewer.
If you have purchased a suitable reporting tool, you can use information from the Application Log in your own, customized reports.
For more information on controlling log files, see the Event Viewer help.
