Increasing ASM log capacity in F5

Dear Community,

The default capacity of storing ASM event logs in F5 is 2GB. If we increase this capacity to 4GB, please inform will it cause negative impact on health and performance of F5?

    You should use an external logging instead of increasing the ASM DB size, because that could impact the system performance.
