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:
Choose Logs > Settings from the menu.
Under Reporting Logs, configure the following:
Database log update interval—IMSA updates the logs regularly at every interval. Select a number between 1 and 60 for the interval. Selecting 60 means that IMSA updates the logs once every hour.
Trend Micro recommends setting a value below 5 to ensure timely update of the traffic summary data.
Number of days to keep logs for query—Type a value between 1 and 60 that represents the number of days IMSA will preserve the logs for query in the IMSA admin database.
Under Log Files, configure the following:
Application log detail level—The level of log detail. Select one of the following:
Normal—The standard level of detail. This level provides the basic information needed by an administrator for daily monitoring and maintenance.
Detailed—A high level of detail. All IMSA processes write detailed information to the logs, including: telnet session information, the policy matched, the filter executed, and the action taken.
Diagnostic—Comprehensive information on each event or action. Diagnostic level logs include all information from the detailed level, plus SMTP routing information, and the route match information that determined which policy was applied.
Debug—The most complete and verbose level of detail. Debug logs are only recommended when troubleshooting.

Diagnostic or Debug logs might consume excessive IMSA resources and could lower system performance. |
Number of days to keep log files—Select the check box and type a number between 1 and 150 that represents the number of days IMSA will keep the local log files. To prevent IMSA from deleting the log files, clear the check box.
Maximum log file size for each service—Select the
check box and type a number between 100 and 99999 that represents the
size in MB for local log files for each type of process or service. To
remove any size restriction, clear the check box.
