we have ACS 4.2. THings are working fine. I want to have the ACS logs to the external server
as well as want to keep the log on the ACS for more than six months. Currently logs showing
only for the one month but not more than that.
I am not able to find any log file size option in the ACS log settings.
Please let me know how to increase the log size and duration in ACS and how to send these
logs to the external server location automatically.
Waiting for the reply.

Hello,
To modify the logging storage, you have to go to system configuration / service control. In this menu you can define how many log file you want to keep, as well as when do you rotate them...
Hope this help.

Hi
under service control panel there is no option to set the time and log size. Only log (Full, low and none is available).
I want to increase the log size as well as duration and also want to export the log to external Server periodically.

Hello Wasiim,
As I told you, you can't manage log file directly on ACS SE. You should rather use logging to external server, and manage log files on the remote server.
You can use a remote agent:
Or syslog server.
To configure syslog server, go into system configuration / logging, then configure the syslog IP for each type of log you want to send to the server by clicking the name under the syslog column.

Hello Wasiim,
You can use remote agent feature (see my link above).
It stores files in CSV (at least accounting Data), which is readable with excel:
