System Logging

If necessary system (windows / linux) eventlogging can be activated. This means that errors are automatically registered in the Operating System and are kept (basically forever). This is not activated by default.

<logging>
    <windowsEventLogEnabled>true</windowsEventLogEnabled>
    <linuxSyslogFacility>local6</linuxSyslogFacility>
</logging>

Maximum total amount of bytes in rolling files

<logging>
    <rollingTotalSizeMB>100</rollingTotalSizeMB>
</logging>

Expiry time of Master Controller and Admin Interface log entries.

<logging>
    <logEntryExpiryTime unit="day" multiplier="5" />
</logging>

The logentries in the database are rollingbarreled intentionally from the central database after 5 days. These are best preserved by using archive export functionality, but it is possible to keep them a bit longer by editing the mc config xml.
