Setting Event Log Size

Postby Carl on Wed Jul 09, 2003 9:56 am

Hi,

my Windows event logs get overwritten very quickly. I know that I can increase their size, but don't find how to do this :(. Any advise?

Thanks
Carl

Open Eventlog Viewer. Right the Eventlog (for exampel application) and select Properties.
There is a field Maximum log size, set it to a larger value, for example 4096 (Which means 4 Megs). Do the same with the other log types.
