Description |

The error reporting queue is stored locally on the system and contains the error reports until they have been manually removed or automatically sent to the local collector or DOD-wide collector (if defined). Once a report has been sent to a collector, it is moved to the report archive. Old reports are deleted as new ones arrive once the maximum limit has been met. |
