Log Rollover and Transfer Schedule

When you create a log subscription, you specify the trigger(s) for when the logs roll over, the old file is transferred, and a new log file is created.

Choose between the following triggers:

• File size
• Time

  • At a specified interval (in seconds, minutes, hours, or days)

    Follow the example on the screen when entering values.

    To enter a composite interval, such as two-and-a-half hours, follow the example 2h30m .

    or

  • Every day, at the time(s) you specify

    or

  • On the days of the week that you select, at the time(s) you specify

When you specify times, use the 24-hour format, for example 23:00 for 11pm.

To schedule multiple rollover times in a day, separate times with a comma. For example, to roll over logs at midnight and noon, enter 00:00, 12:00

Use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard. For example, to roll over logs exactly at every hour and half-hour, enter *:00, *:30

When the specified limit is reached (or the first limit is reached, if you have configured both size- and time-based limits), the log file is rolled over. Log subscriptions based on the FTP poll transfer mechanism create files and store them in the FTP directory on the appliance until they are retrieved or until the system needs more space for log files.
