Overview

The dashboard is currently limited to 40,000 entries by default, this article provides the details on how to increase this limit in the GFI MailEssentials dashboard.

Process

Warning: The instructions below include changing the registry file. If the instructions are not followed correctly, they may cause problems with the functioning of the product. Only proceed if you are comfortable doing so. It is also good practice to take a backup before making any changes.

This can be changed by creating the following registry entry:

1. Browse to the following directory based on the system that you are running:
   • For 32-bit system: HKLM\SOFTWARE\GFI\MailEssentials\EmailSecurity\Config
   • For 64-bit system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GFI\MailEssentials\EmailSecurity\Config
2. Create a string value and name it logsfdblimit.
3. Enter the desired limit.
4. Restart the GFI MailEssentials services for the change to take effect.

Note: The default limit of 40,000 is set to provide a balance between the speed of the UI and the usefulness of data. The limit for what can be used while still maintaining a responsive UI will change depending on the speed of the server.
