This page of user preferences allows you to configure some miscellaneous features and functionalities of ezAudit.
Security Preferences
You can secure your ezAudit preference settings if you wish. When set, users are unable to open the Preferences dialog and make changes unless they enter a password.
Enabling Security. Click on the Enable Configuration Security check box. When this item is checked, a dialog appears asking you to enter a password twice to confirm your password choice. If the two entered passwords match and you save (apply) the changes, the next time a user attempts to access Preferences, a password prompt will appear and access will be granted only if the correct password is entered. Passwords are not case sensitive, but are stored in the ezAudit settings file as "scrambled" text, ensuring a moderate level of security. Save your changes by either clicking on the [Apply] button or when prompted when you close Preferences.
From this point on, users will have to enter the password you created in order to display the Preferences dialog.
|
The password is encrypted and cannot be determined by looking in the ezAudit preferences file. If you forget the password, you will be unable to change any of the Preferences. |
Disabling Security. Remove the check mark in the Enable Configuration Security check box. Save your changes by either clicking on the [Apply] button or when prompted on exiting Preferences.
Event Logging Properties
As ezAudit runs, information relating to its performance and problems encountered is written to an application event log. The event log is a text file that is maintained automatically by ezAudit. Event logs are generally used in troubleshooting problems or determining why ezAudit behaved in a certain way. Review the topic on Extended Event Logging for additional information.
This group of properties provides the means to control the maximum size of the ezAudit event log file, and to adjust the amount of information that is stored to the file as ezAudit runs - the so-called "detail level".
Maximum Log Size (KB). Use this value to control the maximum size of the ezAudit event log file. ezAudit periodically checks the size and removes old items to ensure the event log stays at or below the defined maximum size. The default value is 1000 KB (1 MB).
Event Log Detail Level. The default detail level is "Normal". As you change the detail level to Medium, High, Debug, and Highest, ezAudit logs more and more information to the application event log. The higher the detail level, the more information stored in the application event log.
