What are the log files that are being logged by EventSentry in the %SYSTEMROOT% directory? I see several log files similar to eventsentry_svc_1.log, eventsentry_hb_svc_1.log etc.?

EventSentry will log debug information to log files that help our support department troubleshoot configuration and software issues. All log files are limited to a certain size and will automatically switch to the next one when the maximum size has been reached.

The following files are created:

EventSentry Agent:
eventsentry_svc_1.log
eventsentry_svc_2.log

Each of these two log files will not grow beyond 25Mb, with a maximum total size of 50Mb.

EventSentry Heartbeat Agent:
eventsentry_hb_svc_1.log
eventsentry_hb_svc_2.log

Each of these two log files will not grow beyond 5Mb, with a maximum total size of 10Mb.

EventSentry Management Application:
eventsentry_gui_1.log
eventsentry_gui_2.log

Each of these two log files will not grow beyond 8kb, with a maximum size of 16kb.

As such, the maximum total size of log space used in the %SYSTEMROOT% directory by EventSentry is approximately 60MB. Log data will only be generated if the debug logging level is set to something other than "None" in the "Service Control" options of the management application.
