Select the log type that you want to configure:

  • System logs
  • Audit logs
  • Rule-triggered logs
Settings

Disable or enable the logs and specify the retention period.

Allow 2018 R2 and earlier components to write logs. For more information, see Allow 2018 R2 and earlier components to write logs.

For System logs, specify the level of messages that you want to log:

  • All (includes undefined messages)
  • Information, warnings, and errors
  • Warnings and errors
  • Errors (default setting)

For Audit logs, enable user access logging if you want the system to log all user actions in XProtect Smart Client. These are, for example, exports, activating outputs, and viewing cameras live or in playback.

Specify:

  • The length of a playback sequence

    This means that as long as the user plays back within this period, the system only generates one log entry. When playing back outside the period, the system creates a new log entry.

  • The number of records (frames) a user has seen before the system creates a log entry
