Having a lot of log file history

My HP has lots of monitoring that it throws up in the Event logs and in today's monitoring email it told me that my Power supply number 2 kicked on.  Hmmm... so I remoted in and looked for all other instances of Event 4181.  My log files is sized nice and big so I had a history of it for a long long time back to when it was built.  And the history of that.... the last time there was a 4181 event was once in June, and another in February.  Still it's an event that I'll probably call and just make sure that the vendor is on notice. 

Even if I don't take action just now, making sure that the manufacturer is on notice to make sure it gets covered under warranty is key.

See why nice big log files are a good thing?
