This rule generates an alert whenever an event log becomes full. Once an event log becomes full, new event instances are discarded. As a result, critical information is not collected and the system’s health-related issues may go undetected.
Sample Event:
This rule will generate an alert when any of the following events occur in the System Event Log:
The %1 log file is full.
Source: Event log; Event ID: 6000 The %1 log file is full.
Causes
The event log has reached capacity. The most-likely cause for this is that the log is configured with one of the following log size configurations:
Overwrite events older than “N” days
Do not overwrite events (Clear log manually)
Resolutions
To resolve this Alert, perform the following procedures:
Save Log File and Clear
Open Event Viewer.
Right-click the appropriate event log and click Properties.
Click the Clear Log button.
If appropriate, save the log file.
Update log file configuration
Open Event Viewer.
Right-click the appropriate event log and click Properties.
Click Overwrite as needed or Overwrite events older than N days. In cases where “Overwrite events older than N days ” is clicked, you must adjust the days value so that grooming of the events can keep up with, or exceed, the addition of new events to the log.
