Hello,

the Log tab shows recent status changes. The purge limit can be set independent of the historic data purge. Both (and other) purge limits can be set via Setup | System Administration | Core & Probes, section "Historic Data Purging".

By default, historic data is purged after 365 days, logs after 30 days.

Hello,

in that case, the oldest log entries for that object were older than 30 days, or someone removed the files for the logs.

The default location for that files is "C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Log Database".
