IAG Logs - Extending?

A common issue raised by customers have been regarding how far back the IAG logs can go back.

I have posted in the past about how to use Syslog server with IAG, which will allow the logs to be stored elsewhere for longer, but you may still have issues with what or how much is being reported.

Extending your historical logs:
  • In the IAG Configuration console, select the "Admin" menu and select "Event Logging"
  • Select the "General" tab
  • Change the "Queue Size" to 100
  • Change the "Max Report Results" to 10000
  • Click on "OK"
  • Activate the IAG Configuration

Change the settings for report clean up:

  • In the IAG Configuration console, select the "Admin" menu and select "Advanced Configuration"
  • Change "Start Cleanup at:" to 10000
  • Change "Stop Cleanup at" to 100
  • Change "Number of Undeleted Files" to 100
  • Click on "OK"
  • Activate the IAG Configuration

You may need to wait up to 48 hours to see if these changes have helped, but these settings can be tweaked further to fine tune the logs for your reporting needs.

  1. Hi, thanks for this great article, ran into this problem. Would you know if the users are disconnected when activating this change as that always makes me nervous?

    Thanks

  2. Activating any change on IAG or UAG, can disconnect users, depending on what applications they are using. I would highly recommend scheduling some downtime, if an interruption in service is not acceptable.
