3.4 Procedure for specifying the settings used for recording an operation log on a management server in a single-server configuration system

This is a management server setup item.

You can log user operations in a log. Operation logs enable you to keep track of files that enter or leave the system, and to identify computers on which suspicious operations have been performed.

Note that you can obtain operation logs on computers that are managed online.

Tip: You must set whether to record operation logs during setup and in the security policy. To record operation logs, in addition to this setting, enable the setting for recording operation logs in the security policy. You can also set the types of operation logs you want to record in the security policy.

Tip: Because operation logs cannot be obtained from a management server in a multi-server configuration system, you cannot use the settings described here. If you want to obtain operation logs in a multi-server configuration system, use a site server to obtain distributed operation logs.

Important note: If you set that operation logs are not to be recorded during management server setup, the operation logs for a computer are not saved even when you enable the setting for recording operation logs in the security policy.

Important note

On a computer that runs Windows 8, do not specify the following folders during installation:

Folders under system-drive:\program files\WindowsApps
Folders in storage areas created by virtual provisioning

To specify settings for obtaining operation logs:

Log on to the OS as a user with administrator permissions.
On the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, JP1_IT Desktop Management - Manager, Tools, and Setup.
In the Setup window, click the Next button.
In the Select a Setup view, select Settings Modification, and then click the Next button.
Continue to click the Next button until the Operation Log Settings view opens.
Select Use Operation log, and then set the following items:
- Total Managed Nodes
  
  Specify the approximate number of computers for which you want to obtain operation logs.
- Maximum restore period for operation logs
  
  User operation logs are saved for one month in the folder specified in Operation log database. Operation logs older than one month are automatically saved in a separate folder that can be imported when you want to see those logs.
  
  Specify the number of days that you want operation logs to be saved automatically in the separate folder.
  
  If you want to specify this value, use the Automatic Backup Setting for Operation Logs view that opens next.
- Required capacity
  
  This value is calculated automatically based on the values specified in Total Managed Nodes and Maximum restore period for operation logs.
- Operation log database
  
  Specify the folder in which you want to create the database for saving the operation logs. Specify the folder on a disk with free space greater than the capacity shown in Required capacity.
Tip

The Maximum restore period for operation logs and Required capacity values are approximate. The number of days you can import operation logs and the disk capacity that is used vary according to the number of devices actually managed and the amount of logged information.
Click the Next button.
If you specify Maximum restore period for operation logs in the Operation Log Settings view, select Backup Operation logs automatically in the Automatic Backup Setting for Operation Logs view to specify Operation log backup folder.
Continue to click the Next button until the Confirm Setup Settings view opens.
In the Confirm Setup Settings view, check the settings, and then click the Next button.

Setup starts, and a dialog box indicating the progress appears. When the setup finishes, the Setup Complete view opens.

When a service needs to be stopped, a dialog box asking if it is OK to stop the service opens. Click the OK button to stop the service.
In the Setup Complete view, click the OK button.

Operation logs are now available.

Important note: If you want to change a setting related to operation logs after operation logs have been obtained, you cannot set a value smaller than the current value in Total Managed Nodes and Maximum restore period for operation logs.
