Role admin
Sets rotation criteria according to time. Possible
options are:
• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
Sets rotation criteria according to size in mega bytes.
The range is 1-9999.
Sets rotation criteria according to size in percentage of
the partition where the logging files are kept in. The
percentage given is truncated to three decimal points
(thousandths of a percent).
Forces an immediate rotation of the log files. This does
not affect the schedule of auto-rotation if it was done
based on time: the next automatic rotation will still
occur at the same time for which it was previously
scheduled. Naturally, if the auto-rotation was based on
size, this will delay it somewhat as it reduces the size of
the active log file to zero.
The number of log files will be kept. If the number of
log files ever exceeds this number (either at rotation
time, or when this setting is lowered), the system will
delete as many files as necessary to bring it down to
this number, starting with the oldest.
