ZoneAlarm Standard And Pro Keep Log Files from Getting too Big SUMMARY: Keep your ZoneAlarm and ZoneAlarm Pro alert files from becoming way too large - rotate your logfiles daily - find out how. This tip was written for ZoneAlarm version 6.5.731.000. Instructions may differ for your version. If the ZoneAlarm / ZoneAlarm Pro firewall software broadcasts a large number of Internet alerts, your log file may get quite large. If you want, you can have ZoneAlarm or ZoneAlarm Pro rotate your log files (it calls archiving them) every day, week, or month. This way you can still access old log files from within Explorer, yet your main log file with the most recent alerts will be short and hopefully easy to read. To have ZoneAlarm/ZoneAlarm Pro perform this log rotation: 1. Double-click the "ZA" icon on your taskbar. 2. On the "ZoneAlarm" or "ZoneAlarm Pro" window that follows, click on the "Alerts & Logs" button on the left. 3. The "Advanced Alarts and Logs Settings" dialog box appears. If you are using ZoneAlarm Pro, click the "Log Control" tab. 4. Make sure the checkbox "Archive log text files every" is checked, and enter the number of days you would like to pass between log archives. 5. When you are done making your selection, press "OK" to close this dialog box and "X" to close the ZoneAlarm or ZoneAlarm Pro dialog box. This tip was written for ZoneAlarm Pro 5.x.     Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the ZoneAlarm Standard And Pro page.
