Digital Asset Control Logs

Clients log digital asset transmissions (blocked and allowed transmissions) and send the logs to the server immediately. If the client is unable to send logs, it retries after 5 minutes.

To keep the size of logs from occupying too much space on the hard disk, manually delete logs or configure a log deletion schedule. For more information about managing logs, see Managing Logs.

  2. Click Logs > Digital Asset Control Logs or View Logs > Digital Asset Control Logs.
