To create a log file, a file policy is defined, the target CF or USB drive is specified, and the rollover and retention interval period for the log file is defined. The rollover interval is defined in minutes and determines how long a file is used before it is closed and a new log file is created. The retention interval determines how long the file is stored on the CF before it is deleted.
When creating new log files in a compact flash disk card, the minimum amount of free space is the MINIMUM of 10% of Compact Flash disk capacity OR 5 Mb (5,242,880 = 5 × 1024 × 1024).
The following displays a log file configuration example:
A:ALA-12>config>log# info
------------------------------------------
file-id name "1"
description "This is a log file."
location cf1:
rollover 600 retention 24
exit
