FortiAnalyzer Version 3.0 MR3 Administration Guide
05-30003-0082-20060925 81
When a log file reaches its maximum size, the FortiAnalyzer unit saves the log
files with an incremental number, and starts a new log file with the same name.
For example, the current attack log is alog.log. Any subsequent saved logs
appear as alog.n.log, where n is the number of rolled logs.
For details on setting the maximum file size and log rolling options, see “Log
rolling” on page 86.
