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 to external storage. This lets you archive log data to a remote storage device to free up the local storage space on the appliance to use for incoming log data.

From the Administration > Archive Configuration page, you can attach a storage volume from a SAN or NFS remote server to a LogLogic ST Appliance; or one or more volumes from an NFS remote server to a LogLogic EVA instance.

When configured with a LogLogic ST Appliance or LogLogic EVA instance, an attached volume from an NFS remote 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.

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