How to increase syslog size in Netsight?

How to increase syslog size in Netsight?

Hello, everybody!

I have Netsight 6.3, 12 Extreme switches and 10 CISCOs. Extremes are configured to send logs to Netsight. Everything works fine, but it seems like the log is shrinked automatically, because it I can see events for about last 8 hours.

Could I configure how long syslog data in Netsight is stored?

Many thanks in advance,

Ilya

I've checked it.

Unfortunately, I can only see log messages for the last 24 hours.

Hello, Ron!

I have just applied the solution which Vellachery, Sumeesh recommended above. So, it needs some time to check how it really works. I will share my results with the community.

Thank you!
