Option	Description
Enable Scan Log	You can enable/disable the scan log, and can use the Customize button to select exactly which items appear in the log.
Enable Traffic Log	The traffic log can be a useful troubleshooting tool.
Monitor memory consumption and disk space	If selected, AppScan checks available virtual and physical memory and disk space, and will stop the scan if one of them drops below the recommended amount. This can be useful if memory or disk space issues are causing AppScan to crash.
Scan log file size	Set the maximum log file size, in MBytes. When the limit is reached the file is saved as a backup and a new log file is opened. (The next time a backup is saved the earlier backup is deleted.) If you have limited space on your hard drive, you may want to limit the size of the AppScan log file.
