## About this task

Changing Health Log Analytics system properties affects back-end processes and can produce unexpected results. Therefore, if you must make changes to these properties, keep a record of your adjustments. For example, note the value before and after a modification and the time of the change.  
Note:  
To modify a Health Log Analytics system property whose Requires restart value is true, contact ServiceNow support to modify it for you.

For a complete description of all the Health Log Analytics system properties, see the [HLA System Properties \[KB0869842\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0869842) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.
