Configuring Log Storage Limits

You can modify log storage if you want to change the number of logs and packet logs stored on the IDP device. Figure 1 shows the NSM Report Settings page, where you configure log storage limits.

To modify log storage limits:

1. In the NSM Device Manager, double-click the IDP device to display the configuration editor.
2. Click Report Settings.
3. Complete the settings related to log storage limits described in Table 1.

   Table 1: IDP Configuration: Log Storage Limit Settings

   Maximum number of packet captures that can be stored	Determines the limit for packet capture files stored on the IDP device. The default is 10,000. The minimum value is 1,000. The maximum is 65,535.
   Maximum number of logs that can be stored	Determines the limit of how many log files are stored on the IDP device before the older logs are pruned. The default is 50,000.
