| If the security log is full, it becomes possible for some events to not be logged. Selecting this option will halt the computer when the log is full to prevent losing any events. If the system halts as a result of a full log, an administrator must restart the system and reset the log. This work-stoppage event can be prevented, provided the IAO periodically archives the event logs. |
