The Application Log page provides a web accessible, and searchable presentation of the ImageServer log files. In a clustered server configuration, the logs from all servers are correlated into the application log. The application log also contains information from the Web GUI related logs and the ShredHostService related logs.
Note that the ImageServer only makes the application log available for several days. See the Service Scheduling section for a discussion on how the application log is archived.

A few days of logs are maintained and are archived. This value is configurable using the app.config file in the ShredHostService:
<setting name="ApplicationLogCachedDays" serializeAs="String">
<value>1</value>
</setting>
<setting name="ApplicationLogRecheckDelay" serializeAs="String">
<value>30</value>
</setting>
The ApplicationLogCachedDays specifies how many days of logs will be cached by the ImageServer. The ApplicationLogRecheckDelay specifies how long to wait before retrying if there's a failure. The value is in minutes.
The logs are also archived nightly and can be scheduled on the Service Scheduling page.
