Disk Space for Log Files (Megabytes):

Specifies the amount of disk space

you want to use for log files (1-20 MB). The default setting is 5 MB. Note
that the log files are always 1 MB each. Therefore, if you choose 1 MB for
disk space, the Console will make two 500 KB files.

NOTE:

If there is less than 5 MB of free disk space, the oldest log file will be

deleted until there is at least 5 MB available. If there is only one log file, the
Console will stop logging. If you enter the total log file size and that number is
more than 5% of the available disk space, a warning message will appear.

Save Log Files:

The Console automatically compresses the log files.
