which one you've set:
Determine what happens when the maximum log size is reached. The options available are
Overwrite Events As Needed Events in the log are overwritten when the maximum file size is reached. Generally, this is the best option on a low priority system.
Overwrite Events Older Than . . . Days When the maximum file size is reached, events in the log are overwritten only if they are older than the setting you select. If
the maximum size is reached and the events can't be overwritten, the system generates error messages telling you the event log is full.
Do Not Overwrite Events (Clear Log Manually) When the maximum file size is reached, the system generates error messages telling you the event log is full.
or check out this thread, you can opt to save event logs:
