The system log is a log containing system information on events, including system error entries.

The system log is stored in a local database for each server. You can set access to the system log for a user group in the Permissions tab under Settings (see the section titled The Role object).

To configure storage of the system log and metadata, perform the following:

1. Go to Settings → Options → User interface (1–2).
   
2. In the Period field, enter the amount of days to store the system log in the Server’s database and to store metadata in the object trajectory database (3).

3. In the appropriate field, enter the amount of hours after which outdated events will be purged from the system log (4).

   Outdated events are events that have been stored in the system log for a period greater than that indicated in step 2.
   
   

   Every 12 hours after Axxon Next is started, the object trajectory database is purged of video recordings that have been stored for more than the specified storage period

4. Click the Apply button.

Configuration of the system log is now complete.
