One of the predefined log names supported by the SKM. Log types are: System,

Audit, Activity, and Client Event.

closed and a new log file is opened. Supported log rotation frequencies are Daily,

Weekly, and Monthly. See

for more information.

Rotation Time

Specifies the time of day when the log rotation occurs.

Stagger Rotation So

Last Log in Cluster

Enter the start time for the last log rotation in the cluster. The system calculates the

rotation times of all devices in the cluster based on this value and the Rotation Time.

This field is only available for devices in a cluster that replicates log configuration.

Num Logs Archived

Number of files to retain. Once this limit is reached, a new log file causes the oldest

log file to be removed. The maximum number of log files you can retain is 64; the

minimum is 0.

Max Log File Size

Specifies the maximum size log file. When the log file reaches the log file size limit,

the system rotates the current file and begins writing to a new file.

Transfer Type

Specifies the method for transferring the log file to its destination. FTP or SCP indicate

that the log file will be sent via FTP or SCP to the specified hostname. None implies

that the log files will be stored internally on the SKM.

Host

Specifies the name of the host to which the file will be sent, when the transfer type

is FTP or SCP.
