By default, the DW Spectrum System will maintain up to 26 System log files, each up to a maximum size of 10 MB per file (log_file.log to log_file025.log). Only records that are located within the log_file.log file will display in the log section of the DW Spectrum web interface.
By default, DW Spectrum log files are located in the following file directories:

/opt/dwspectrum/mediaserver/var/logs
These logs are located in the mserver.sqlite file and are limited to the following retention periods:
**NOTE: These limitations have the option of being adjusted in the Server config options in the server’s web client. Please be aware that making major changes to the retention periods of these databases will affect the integrity of the pre-existing data.
