Public Property MaximumKilobytes As Long

Property Value

The maximum event log size in kilobytes. The default is 512, indicating a maximum file size of 512 kilobytes.

Attributes

Exceptions

The specified value is less than 64, or greater than 4194240, or not an even multiple of 64.

The Log value is not a valid log name.

-or-

The registry key for the event log could not be opened on the target computer.

Examples

The following example enumerates the event logs defined on the local computer, and displays configuration details for each event log.

   // displaying the property settings for each file.

Remarks

The MaximumKilobytes property represents the size limit of the event log file. When the event log reaches the size limit, the configured OverflowAction value determines whether new entries are discarded, or whether new entries overwrite older entries.

Note

This property represents a configuration setting for the event log represented by this instance. When the event log reaches its maximum size, this property specifies how the operating system handles new entries written by all event sources registered for the event log.
