Configure Log Preferences
You can manage some basic aspects of your system logs, including how logs are transferred to a USB
flash drive.
Your system has limited storage space for logs. If you want logs to be overwritten less frequently, attach a
USB flash drive to the system.
When the system log fills past your configured threshold, the system triggers the following actions:
• Transfers the log to a USB flash drive if you set
Transfer Frequency
to
Auto At Threshold
.
• Creates a log entry indicating that the system reached the threshold.

In the system web interface, go to
