Increase logs in all events ZoneDirector 3000

jonathan_salvem — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:01:13 GMT

Hello all

Hope you're well !

I am wondering if we can increase the maximum log into "All Events".

It's limited to 2500. When this limit is reached, the oldest events will be overwritten when new events occur.

Can we increase that limit ? Or there is another way to see much logs ?

Thanks a lot for your reply

Cheers,
JS.

Perhaps Syslog would be a helpful alternative?

+1 for syslog, helps lots especially when you need to filter and search

Since syslog is being mentioned here's a relevant thread from a while back (saves me repeating myself)!

My ZD 1125 and 25 APs produce a lot of logging! 50-100 lines a second is not unusual.
If you have a big deployment your log can get a tad on the bulky side. Just bear in mind when you wonder where all your disk space went.

[nearly 700,000 entries in the 3h since earlier post, tee, hee].

You can limit/filter your Syslog output, if you look on your ZD, Configure/System page, Log Settings section - Show More, Warning and Critical Events, Critical Events only. These show All, Most, or only Critical messages, and current code has further Syslog Facility levels if you wish.
