System Logs & Tools

The logs and tools page is used for the technical management of AppControl. The information on this page reflects the operation of AppControl and not the operation of the apps managed by AppControl.

Do not use any of the action in the 'System Tools' tab unless instructed to do so by Blue Storm support. Incorrect usage of these tools can cause data loss.

By default old log messages are not deleted. Over time the size of the log table can grow to become very large. To delete old log messages do the following:

• Enable the Logging.CleanupDataLogging scheduled event.

• Set the constant Logging.LogHistoryDays to the number of days that you want to retain old log messages.

Logs

This tab gives an overview of all logs generated by AppControl. Use these log messages to troubleshoot any unexpected behaviour of the system.

Background Jobs

AppControl uses background jobs to perform tasks such as app scans and policy checks. This tab shows the current and historical status of all background jobs executed by AppControl. Use this information if you encounter problems with policies, scorecards, or other information in AppControl that is not updating as expected.

System Task Queue

AppControl uses task queues to execute jobs in parallel. Use this tab to view which tasks AppControl is currently executing.

System Tools

The tools on this page can be used to manually perform tasks that are usually performed autmatically by AppControl. Only use these tools when instructed to do so by Blue Storm support.
