Event Log Parameters
This topic contains parameters that are used for the event log.
JET_paramEventLogCache
This parameter controls the size (in bytes) of an eventlog message cache that will hold eventlog messages emitted by the database engine while the eventlog service is stopped. These cached messages will be flushed to the eventlog when the service becomes operational. Any messages that overflow the cache will be dropped.
