Remote Log Storage

All W3C logs are stored in compressed form onto the ADC every hour. The oldest files will be deleted when 30% of disk space is remaining. Should you wish to export these to a remote server for safekeeping, you can configure this using an SMB share. Please note that the W3C log will not transfer to the remote location until the file has been completed and compressed. As the logs are written every hour, this could take up to two hours in a Virtual Machine appliance and five hours for a hardware appliance.
