To resize the data log (Logs > Data > size):
By default, the data log stores 400 events. You can change the number of data points
the log stores. When you resize the data log, all existing log entries are deleted. To
avoid losing log data, use FTP or SCP to retrieve the log before you enter a new value
in the
Data Log Size field.
When the log is full, the older entries are deleted.
