Configuring, customizing, and migrating message archiving

From the Site Preferences External Database tab:

  1. Select a Database Connection and select Unlimited or specify the maximum number of kilobytes the log file can attain before cycling.
    Automatic Log Cycling Threshold automatically cycles message logs when they get to the specified size. Cycling a save file causes the current file to close, renames it to <old_name>.old, and opens a new save file. The saved files are located in the subdirectory named %HCISITEDIR%\exec\hcimsgarchive.
  2. Configure the thread that uses this feature. On the NetConfig’s Properties tab, select Message Archiving and click Setup. The archiving alerts are internal and MonitorD loads them automatically.
  3. Set up the alert by entering a Table Name. Then, accept the default for the timing and frequency for the message to be written to the external database, or change as required. If the Table Name is new, a message opens to confirm generating the new table.
