Usage

A log file that exceeds either the configured <MAX-SIZE> value or the logrotate period , triggers rotation for that log file. Log rotation occurs during the next hourly maintenance cycle.

Logs are stored locally (event logs in the /var/log/event.log file, and authentication logs in the /var/log/auth.log file) or transferred to the configured remote destination target using TFTP.

Examples

switch(config)# logrotate maxsize 32

switch(config)# no logrotate maxsize
