Hey guys,

It's been quite a while since my last post, this time I was wondering around the SEPM Console, and I noticed that our drive space is getting smaller and smaller. One way I found to trim the size down is to retain only 6 days of security defenitions which is good because it worked. Now here is my problem:

1. How can I trim the the logs too? I cant find it on the SEPM Console.

2. Based on my previous readings (KB and Forum) deleting files directly from the Symantec directory is not advisable, what's your take on this?

Thanks,

reduce the log retenetion under the settings of Admin ---> server ---> edit the database properties and reduce the threshold and no. of days.

Hello,

In case you are using the SEP 12.1, to help control hard disk space, you can decrease the number of log entries that the database keeps. You can also configure the number of days the entries are kept.

Log information on the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console Logs tab on theMonitors page is presented in logical groups for you to view. The log names on the Site Properties Log Settings tab correspond to log content rather than to log types on the Monitors page Logs tab.

To specify how long to keep log entries in the database

1. In the console, click Admin.

2. Under Servers, expand Local Site, and click the database.

3. Under Tasks, click Edit Database Properties.

4. On the Log Settings tab, set the number of entries and number of days to keep log entries for each type of log.

5. Click OK.

To clear log data from the database manually

1. To prevent an automatic sweep of the database until after a backup occurs, increase a site's log size to their maximums.

2. Perform the backup, as appropriate.

3. On the computer where the manager is installed, open a Web browser and type the following URL:

   https://localhost:8443/servlet/ConsoleServlet?ActionType=ConfigServer&action=SweepLogs

   After you have performed this task, the log entries for all types of logs are saved in the alternate database table. The original table is kept until the next sweep is initiated.

4. To empty all but the most current entries, perform a second sweep. The original table is cleared and entries then start to be stored there again.

5. Return the settings on the Log Settings tab of the Site Properties dialog box to your preferred settings.
