[Debug]SysLogArchive

Use this parameter to archive the syslog.dat files. The files roll over with timestamp and facilitate the retrieval of logged data from a historical archive.

The time taken for a syslog to fill and roll over depends on the amount of logging being recorded, and the current setting for [Debug]SysLogSize.

Allowable Values:

• 0 (disable syslog.dat archiving)

• 1 (enable syslog.dat archiving)

Default Value:

0

Note: Consider the amount of available disk space before you start archiving log files, as the disk space required to store traces may be significant. A long term archiving strategy is recommended to avoid running a system close to its limitations.

The following format is used for the file name:

syslog.[server][timestamp].dat

where:

[server] = <type>.<cluster>.<username>

[timestamp] = _YYMMDD_HHMMSS

For example:

syslog.Alarm.Cluster1.AlarmServer1_051231_235959.dat

The files are located in the following directory:

%PROGRAMDATA%\AVEVA Plant SCADA <VersionNumber>\Logs

Note: You can update this parameter within the Citect.ini file while online, as the runtime system will read its value periodically or on demand. For more information, see the topic Adjusting Logging During Runtime.
