Configuring Log Settings

You can configure the level of detail InterScan™ Messaging Security Appliance (IMSA) will write to the logs and the length of time it will store them. In addition, you can set the update period that controls how frequently the scanner services write their local logs to the IMSA admin database.

To configure log settings:

  1. Choose Logs > Settings from the menu.

  2. Under Reporting Logs, configure the following:

Trend Micro recommends setting a value below 5 to ensure timely update of the traffic summary data.

  1. Under Log Files, configure the following:

Diagnostic or Debug logs might consume excessive IMSA resources and could lower system performance.

1. IMSA log files are stored in the folder /opt/trend/IMSA/logs. IP Profiler log files are stored in the folder /opt/trend/ipprofiler/logs.
2. Daily log files for each event type are created at midnight and have the suffix of "<Date>.<Count>". The <Count> suffix is incremented if there is more than one (1) log file per day.
3. If the log file size exceeds the maximum log file size for each service, IMSA will delete the oldest file.

  1. Click Save.
