Information field entry....

Normal log deletion log

Type: Control

Information field: Log file <name> has been deleted by the "Cyclic Logging" mechanism

Disk space triggered log deletion that failed

Type: Alert

Information Field: The log repository quota has been exceeded. No file could be deleted.

This message indicates that the system tried to delete old log files in order to fulfill the required disk space requirement, as defined by the user, but could not find an appropriate file to delete. This might be because there are no old files left to delete (the active log file cannot be deleted), or because the user configured the mechanism not to delete log files from the last "N" days. The user should delete files manually from the machine in order to reach the desired free disk space. If the user does not, the current log might be deleted when a log switch occurs.
