# About the Event Log Tab

The Event Log tab of the Options dialog box provides a system administrator with the facility to set a global time interval in days after which event log entries are purged. Optionally a user-defined PowerShell script can be linked to the process which will run prior to the purging of the log. This can be used to save the log data to disk, for example. The tab contains the following items:
|  | Purge Log Entries Over — Checking the box activates the purging feature.
|  | days old — A number, representing a time interval in days, may be entered manually or by using the controls up and down arrows.
| Click the image to view full size.

The SQL Server Store area is active if a SQL Server store type is being used and contains the following:

|  | Run user defined powershell script before purging the log — Checking this option activates the field and Browse button below it.

|  | PowerShell Script — A user may browse to and select a PowerShell script that they require to run before log entries are run. This can be used, for example, for archiving the log data to a place defined by the users own policies and procedures before purging.

|  | Authentication — This area contains the following for entering the applicable authentication details required to access the SQL Server Store:

|  | Username — A user name may be manually entered or the Browse button used to locate and select the user name.

|  | Password — A valid password for the selected user name may be manually entered.

TIP:

Authentication requires a fully qualified Windows account.
