Yikes 1GB logs files could shut down many of SBS servers that I support!
I've never seen any ISA log files anywhere near that large. We don't do
any web hosting on the SBS servers though. Perhaps this is the
difference? My clients are also not isatools.org. That alone probably
makes you a target.
Here is few log file size ranges. All have static IP addresses and use
SDSL or ADSL and host their own email.
ISA logs: Text
Ranges for a few SBS/ISA Servers
23k to 5MB
1k to 8MB
50k to 7.5MB
14k to 7.1MB
234k to 11.4MB
6k to 11.2MB

Subject: [isalist] Looking for information - typical ISA log file sizes
(SQL or text)
http://www.ISAserver.org
Hi all,
I recently hit a wall with ISA 2004 MSDE logging.
My typical log size is in the 2-8 KB range, with occasional forays into
the 1+GB range on really noisy days (script kiddie holidays?).
I believe MSDE has a "total files" upper limit, but I'm not sure exactly
what that value is (investigation on a non-production ISA). I ended up
writing a maintenance script that I run daily to only keep the last 30
days' logs "live" in MSDE; all others are detached (not deleted, just
removed from MSDE tracking).
The point of this mail is to ask you guys what you usually find for the
typical log size on the SBS/ISA combinations you support?
I don't need the log contents, location or anything more than file
sizes.
This information is requested to help the ISA SE team decide how best to
deal with this scenario.
Thanx!
