You can now view syslog messages without logging into Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM), by scheduling an export of all syslog messages received on the server. You can export syslog messages that are generated on your Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC) instances in PDF, CSV, PNG, and JPEG formats. You can schedule the export of these reports to specified email addresses at various intervals.

How to Configure Events Prune Settings by Using Citrix ADM

To limit the amount of event messages data being stored in your Citrix ADM server’s database, you can specify the interval for which you want Citrix ADM to retain network reporting data, events, audit logs, and task logs. By default, this data is pruned every 24 hours (at 00.00 hours).

Navigate to System > System Administration. Under Instance Settings, click Events Prune Settings. Enter the time interval, in days, for which you want to retain data on the Citrix ADM server and click OK.
