Enabling or disabling incidents logging
You can enable or disable incidents logging for each scan job type (transport, realtime, scheduled, on-demand). Enabling incidents logging allows you to track the performance of FPE more efficiently. However, disabling incidents logging can save you disk space if your resources are limited, provided that you also disable quarantining for that scan job. (If you disable incidents logging for a scan job but quarantining remains enabled, the incident is still written to the database so that FPE can quarantine the item. However, the item is not displayed in the Incidents pane.)
To enable or disable incident logging options
- In the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server Administrator Console, click Policy Management, and under Global Settings, click Advanced Options.
- In the Global Settings – Advanced Options pane, under the Logging Options section, using the check boxes, enable or disable the following incident logging options:
- Enable transport incident logging—Specifies whether FPE should enable incident logging for the transport scan job. By default, transport incident logging is enabled. To disable the logging of incidents detected during transport scanning, clear the check box.
- Enable realtime incident logging—Specifies whether FPE should enable incident logging for the realtime scan job. By default, realtime incident logging is enabled. To disable the logging of incidents detected during realtime scanning, clear the check box.
- Enable scheduled incident logging—Specifies whether FPE should enable incident logging for the scheduled scan job. By default, scheduled incident logging is enabled. To disable the logging of incidents detected during scheduled scanning, clear the check box.
- Enable on-demand incident logging—Specifies whether FPE should enable incident logging for the on-demand scan job. By default, on-demand incident logging is enabled. To disable the logging of incidents detected during on-demand scanning, clear the check box.
- Click Save.
