Log Settings

• Logs are a record of antivirus events. For example, a log entry is created when XCS detects a piece of malware

• XCS logs all events by default. You can view the logs themselves in 'More' > 'View Antivirus Events'

The log settings area lets you:

• Enable or disable logging.

• Configure how XCS should behave once a log file reaches a certain size.

• Configure how logs should be written (to file and/or to syslog server)

Configure logging settings

• Open Xcitium Client Security

• Click 'More' > 'Preferences' > 'Logging':

General Log File Options

• Write to Local Log Database (XCITIUM format) - XCS records events in a local database. Log storage depends on the settings in the log file management section below. (Default = Enabled)

• Write to Syslog Server (CEF Format) - XCS forwards the logs to an external Syslog server integrated with Xcitium Enterprise. Enter the IP/hostname and port of the Syslog server in fields provided. (Default = Disabled)

• Host - Specify the server details (IP or host name)

• Port- Enter port number at which XCS will connect to the Syslog server

• Write to Log File (CEF Format) - XCS stores the logs at a specific location. Click 'Browse' to select the storage location. (Default = Disabled)

• Path - Specify the location in the local computer (network path not supported)

• When log file reaches (MB) - Configure how to handle a log file when it reaches a certain size.

• When the log file reaches - Specify the maximum size of a log file (Default = 100 MB).

• Keep on updating it removing the oldest records - When a log file reaches the max. size, XCS will delete the earliest log entries to make room for the new entries. (Default = Enabled)

• Move it to the specified folder - When a log file reaches the max. size, XCS starts a new log file and moves the old one to a folder of your choice. (Default = Disabled)

• Select the option and click 'the specified folder' to choose the storage folder:

The selected folder path will appear beside 'Move it to':

Once the log file reaches the maximum size, it is automatically moved to the selected folder. A new log file is created with events occurring from that instant.

• Click 'OK' to save your settings.
