When Windows Event Log is full, how does EventTracker™ function?

When any of the Windows Event Log file is full, EventTracker™ will back up the specific event log file and then clear the log file. Logging of events continues and event log monitoring never stops. Eg: Assume that the application log file (AppEvent.Evt) is full. First a back up file is created as AppEvent.Evt into the EventTracker™ Agent directory. Content of the application log file – which is full – is copied into this new file. For example, it can have a sample name as “AppEvent1035280039.evt”. (‘C:\Program Files\Prism Microsystems\Tracker\Agent’ is the path if default installation directory in the Agent was chosen). Then the application log file is cleared and is ready to log subsequent events.
