In Exchange Server 2013, you can use Information Rights Management (IRM) logs to monitor and troubleshoot IRM operations. IRM logging is enabled by default.
IRM logs use the following common set of parameters:
- IrmLogEnabled Enables or disables IRM
logging. Default:
$true.
- IrmLogMaxAge Specifies the maximum age
of IRM log files. Files older than the specified age are deleted.
Default: 30 days.
- IrmLogMaxDirectorySize Specifies the
maximum size of the directory that contains IRM logs. When a
directory reaches its maximum file size, the server deletes the
oldest log files first. Default: 250 MB.
- IrmLogMaxFileSize Specifies the maximum
size of each IRM log file. When a log file reaches the specified
size, a new log file is created. Default: 10 MB.
- IrmLogPath Specifies the location of
the IRM log directory. Default:
%ExchangeInstallPath%Logging\IRMLogs.
For additional management tasks related to IRM, see Information Rights Management Procedures.
What do you need to know before you begin?
- Estimated time to complete each procedure: 2-5 minutes.
- You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this
procedure or procedures. To see what permissions you need, see the
"Configure IRM logging" entry in the Messaging Policy and
Compliance Permissions topic.
- You can't use the Exchange Administration Center (EAC) to
enable or disable IRM logging on a server. You must use the
Shell
- For information about keyboard shortcuts that may apply to the
procedures in this topic, see Keyboard Shortcuts in
the Exchange Admin Center.
