Policy Pages Reference : System settings policies : Logging
  
Logging
You can configure remote logging servers, log rotation and filtering, and log viewing preferences for the selected system settings policy in the Logging page.
By default, the system rotates each log file every 24 hours or if the file size reaches one Gigabyte uncompressed. You can change this to rotate every week or month and you can rotate the files based on file size.
The automatic rotation of system logs deletes your oldest log file, labeled as Archived log #10, pushes the current log to Archived log # 1, and starts a new current-day log file.
The Logging page contains these groups of settings:
•  Logging configuration
•  Adding a new log server
•  Adding a new process logging filter
Logging configuration
Complete the configuration as described in this table.

Description
Minimum Severity
Select the minimum severity level for the system log messages. The log contains all messages with this severity level or higher. Select one of these levels from the drop-down list:

•  Alert - Action must be taken immediately.
•  Critical - Conditions that affect the functionality of the SCC.
•  Error - Conditions that probably affect the functionality of the SCC.
•  Warning - Conditions that could affect the functionality of the SCC, such authentication failures.
•  Notice - Normal but significant conditions, such as a configuration change. This is the default setting.
