Change Log File Path

[computerdude60]

I have installed Incoulan/etrust V7.0 on my W2k Servers and I need to change the direecotry for the log files. I can see the path when I open the local scanner options but I can't change it. Anyone know how to change it, it's filling up my C drive.

Chapter 7: Viewing and Managing logs
Its has info. about purging log files.

I read that also but it doesn't address how to select where logs are placed. I want to have all log files placed on my D: drive where I have enough space.

if space is of concern to you, then moving the log file alone may not be a permanent fix. Instead, to avoide potential future drive related problems, you might want to consider moving the entire Inoculate install root to D:drive by way of reinstalling. Know that Inoculate has more folders with growth potential than just the log files. Such as the "Move Folder" which holds all files suspected to be infected with virus that Inoculate could not cure. Depending on the size of such file, it can max out your drive space.

2) Alternatively, you may want to modify your log configuration to recycle more often (just as in NT Event log).

3) Also, It is a good Sys Admin practice not to install anything on your system's root "C:\" partition, (except if it is absolutely necessary or demanded by the system/application). Hence C:\ easily max out and that always result in a serious performance problem, if not a complete crash.

bkonline,
Thanks, I just reinstalled and set the log file to clear after 3 days. I didn't plan to install it to the C: drive I user the remote install and it didn't work quite like I expected.
