Option Definition
Location If you want to configure a location to store the product log. Select Enable to specify a custom location.
Specify database location To specify the product log file location path where product log events can be stored. You can select:
<Install Folder> — To create the product log file under the MSME installation directory.
<System Drive> — To create the product log file under the C:\Windows\system32 directory.
<Program Files> — To create the product log file under the Windows C:\Program Files (x86) directory.
<Windows Folder> — To create the product log file under the C:\Windows directory.
<Data Folder> — To create the product log file under the C:\ProgramData\ directory.
<Full Path> — To store the product log file in the complete path specified in the adjacent textbox.
To store the product log file to a custom location or sub-folder, specify the sub-folder name or path in the field next to the drop-down list.
Filename If you want to specify a different file name to store the product log. Select Enable to specify a custom file name.
Specify database filename To specify a custom file name for the product log. The default file name is productlog.bin under <Install Folder>\Data\ directory.
If you modify the default product log file name or path, the log entries in the Settings & Diagnostics | Product Log page will be reset and older log entries will not appear.

Specify maximum database size To specify how large the product log file can be. You can specify a value from 1 KB to 2000 MB.
If the product log file exceeds the specified file size, older log events will be rewritten due to circular logging, where new log entries are added to the file by deleting the oldest log entries.
Limit age of entries If you want the product log entries to be deleted after a set period of time.
Specify maximum age of entry To specify how many days an entry should remain in the product log file before it is deleted. You can specify a value from 1 to 365.
