Setting Flag for SCP Usage
Flag for SCP Usage serves as the on/off switch for SCP transfer. All other SCP
parameters must be set properly for SCP transfer to function. If on, Symantec
Network Security rotates the logs and exports them to another host for
long-term storage. SCP transfer is used more commonly than File Event Writer,
which rotates logs on the original node. SCP transfer does not impact
performance. The default value is false.
