Configuring application event log settings

By default, information about events is saved to the application event log located on the device.

The event log database contains:

• Several files with events. The number of files depends on the current number of events in the event log and on the maximum number of events that the application is configured to store (the MaxEventsNumber setting). The name of the file with events includes its serial number (for example, events.db.0001). When a file fills up, a new file is created. If the maximum number of events in all event files not counting the earliest file reaches the MaxEventsNumber value, the earliest file is deleted. This means that the application may store more events than indicated in the setting.
• The main file of the database for managing event files that stores information about the event log files. This file is not deleted.

You can manage the following application event log options on the command line via the general application settings:

• Change the path to the application event log database using the EventsStoragePath setting. Default value: /var/opt/kaspersky/kesl/private/storage/events.db.
• Specify the maximum number of events to be stored by the application via the MaxEventsNumber option. Default value: 500000.

You can change the values of the settings with the help of command line switches or a configuration file that contains all general application settings.
