Syntax rollover minutes [ retention hours ]

Context config>log>file-id
Description
This command configures how often an event or accounting log is rolled over or partitioned into a new
file.
An event or accounting log is actually composed of multiple individual files. The system creates a new
file for the log based on the rollover time, expressed in minutes.
The retention option, expressed in hours, allows you to modify the default time to keep the file in the
system. The retention time is based on the rollover time of the file. The retention time is used as a factor
to determine which files should be deleted first as the file space becomes full.
When multiple rollover commands for a file ID are entered, the last command overwrites the previous
command.
Default
rollover 1440 retention 12

Values

dat rollover time + retention time is less than the current timestamp.
