When creating files, the primary location is used as long as there is available space. If no space is
available, an attempt is made to delete unnecessary files that are past their retention date.
If sufficient space is not available, an attempt is made to remove the oldest to newest closed log or
accounting files. After each file is deleted, the system attempts to create the new file.
A medium severity trap is issued to indicate that the compact flash is either not available or that no
space is available on the specified flash and that the backup location is being used.
A high-priority alarm condition is raised if the compact flash device for this file ID is not present or if
there is insufficient space available. If space does becomes available, then the alarm condition will be
cleared.
Use the no form of this command to revert to default settings.
Default Log and accounting files are created on cf3:
Parameters
cflash-id — specifies the primary location
rollover
Syntax rollover minutes [retention hours]
no rollover
Context config>log>file file-id
Description
This command configures how often an event or accounting log is rolled over or partitioned into a
new file.
An event or accounting log is actually composed of multiple individual files. The system creates a
new file for the log based on the rollover time, expressed in minutes.
The retention option, expressed in hours, allows you to modify the default time to keep the file in the
system. The retention time is based on the rollover time of the file. The retention time is used as a
factor to determine which files should be deleted first as the file space becomes full.
When multiple rollover commands for a file-id are entered, the last command overwrites the previous
command.
Default rollover 720 retention 12
Parameters rollover minutes — the rollover time, in minutes
