exceedWhen the log file reaches the specified maximum size, the FortiAnalyzer unit saves the current log file with an incremental number and starts a new active log file. For example, if the maximum size is reached, the current xlog.log is renamed to xlog.n.log, then a new xlog.log is created to receive new log messages.

•Daily: Roll log files daily, even if the log file has not yet reached maximum file size.

•Weekly: Roll log files weekly, even if the log file has not yet reached maximum file size.

•Optional: Roll log files only when the log file reaches the maximum file size, regardless of time interval.
