Engine Editor > Advanced Settings > Log Handling
Use this branch to change log handling settings for the Secure SD-WAN Engine. You can use log handling settings to adjust logging when the log spool fills up.
Note: These settings are not supported for Virtual Engines.
Option | Definition |
---|---|
Log Spooling Policy
(Not Virtual Engines) |
Defines what happens when the log spool becomes full.
|
Log Compression
(Antispoofing Log Event Type for Engines only) |
The maximum number of separately logged entries. When the defined limit is reached, a single Antispoofing log entry or Discard log entry is logged.
The single entry contains information about the total number of the generated Antispoofing log entries or Discard log entries. The individual log entries are deleted.
After the single log entry is created, logging returns to normal and all entries are logged and shown separately. Double-click a cell to edit the value. Note: Do not
enable Log Compression if you want all Antispoofing and Discard entries to be logged as separate log entries (for example, for reporting or statistics).

Set to Default | Returns Log Compression settings to the default settings. |
Store a Copy of Recent Log Files on the Secure SD-WAN Engine | When selected, the Secure SD-WAN Engine stores copies of logs according to the specified settings. |
Maximum Time | The maximum length of time for which to store copies of logs. Values can be 1–720 hours (the maximum is 30 days), or not specified. If a value is not specified, the Secure SD-WAN Engine stores copies of logs until the limits specified in the Guaranteed Free Spool Partition or Guaranteed Free Spool Partition Size options are reached. |
Guaranteed Free Spool Partition | The minimum percentage of the spool partition that must be kept free. When the amount of free space reaches the limit, the Secure SD-WAN Engine starts deleting the oldest stored copies of log and alert entries when a new log or alert entry is saved. Values
can be 5–80 %, or not specified. Note: You must enter a value for at least one of the guarantee options. If you enter a value for both options,
both limits are enforced.
|
Guaranteed Free Spool Partition Size | The minimum amount of file space, in MB, on the spool partition that must be kept free. When the amount of free space reaches the limit, the Secure SD-WAN Engine starts deleting the oldest stored copies of log and alert entries when a new log or alert entry is saved. Values
can be 50–1000 MB, or not specified. Note: You must enter a value for at least one of the guarantee options. If you enter a value for both options,
both limits are enforced.
