Introduction

Email Log Server is the component that receives log records and processes them into the Log Database.

During installation, certain aspects of Log Server operation are configured, including how Log Server interacts with Forcepoint Email Security. The Email Log Server Configuration utility is used to change these settings and to configure other details about Log Server operation. This utility is installed on the same machine as Log Server.

To access the Email Log Server Configuration Utility:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, select Start > Forcepoint > Email Log Server Configuration.

    The Email Log Server Configuration utility opens.

  2. Select a tab to display its options and make any changes. For detailed instructions, see:
    • Configuring Log Server connections
    • Configuring Log Server database options
    • Configuring log cache files
  3. Click Apply. The changes are saved.
  4. On the tab Connection, stop and restart Log Server. The changes to take effect only after Log Server is stopped and restarted.
Important: After making changes to any Log Server Configuration tab, click Apply to save the changes. Next, you must stop and restart Log Server for the changes to take effect. To avoid restarting Log Server multiple times, make all Log Server configuration changes before restarting Log Server.
