Thanks for the quick response.

At the moment I'd like to keep the severity 3/4/5 records.

I'll put in a cron job to delete the severity 6/7 records on a regular basis.

It is a 'big' install, not as big as we hope it will get.

Basically it's a CDN, so we have lots of big servers with lots of cores and lots of local disks.

We're currently running well in excess of 100000 poller.php jobs every day.

I'll probably have some questions about scaling down the line.

Michael.

Eventlog is spamlog, just be sure to nuke it down regularly with the housekeeping script.

We ended up putting so much stuff in there, at some point I'll rework it to be a bit more sane.

That does seem like a lot, big install?

Hi,
is there any way I can fine tune the collection of Informational/Debugging events?
We have rather a lot of them.
