history file. urgent

[kantoborgy]

Dear all,

My history file in the wingate 6.x enterprise is configured:
enable
maximun database size = 100000KB-->100MB
maximun days to store data = 25 days

But the problem is , all days, the history is reset to 0KB, Why ? In teh ol version, wingate 4.x, with the same configutarion, the history never reset to 0KB, before 25 days

Thanks a lot

Check the WG scheduler. The default WinGate Internal Maintenance setting includes a purge of the history file once per day. This particular setting could be removed and placed in its own schedule on a weekly, monthly or whatever time frame - although I haven't actually done it myself, I think it would be worth a try. Let us know if it helps.

Also if the history file becomes corrupted, it can disable history logging.

You may need to stop WinGate, delete the history files in explorer, then start it again.

Hi,
Is there a way to view the entire history database from gatekeeper instead of a fixed numer of event?
I'm asking this because i saw that opening the DB with Excel only diplays the time in an unknown format but displayng the entire DB.

Please help me.

Hi,

We have a knowledge base article about changing the time in Excel to a readable format, you can view it here

[Pascal]

There is a formula for converting the numerical value into a date/time. You can find the formula here

ok thanks, but is there no way to view the entire db in GK?

Just had a quick dig through the code. There is a registry key you can use to determine the maximum number of items to load. Note though that you must be proficient with editing the registry. It's strongly recommended that you make an appropriate backup or set a system restore point.

Open the hive:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Qbik Software\GateKeeper\HistoryView

Create a REG_DWORD called "MaxLoadItems". This is the number of records it will load. This is set to a default of 2000.

Create a REG_DWORD called "EnableMaxLoadItems". Set this to 1 to enable the maximum record limit, set it to 0 to disable the maximum record limit.
