Archiving of Log Data (LogLogic ST Appliance and LogLogic EVA Only)

To extend the storage capacity of a LogLogic ST Appliance or LogLogic EVA, you can enable archiving by attaching additional storage to the appliance.

You can attach NAS storage server to the LogLogic EVA appliance, or set up a SAN device for the LogLogic ST Appliances. This lets you archive log data to a remote storage device to free up local storage space on the appliance to use for incoming log data.

When configured with a LogLogic ST Appliance or LogLogic EVA, a NAS server acts as a data storage extension where log data can be accessed as if it were still on the appliance. Therefore, the same access to reporting, indexing, searching, and alerting exists on the storage server as on the appliance itself.

You can add a SAN or NAS server to an LogLogic ST Appliance or NAS server to a LogLogic EVA appliance from the Administration > Archive Configuration menu.

Starting release 6.3.0, in addition to EXT2 and EXT3, XFS and EXT4 file systems on SAN devices can be used for archiving data.
