About this task

Logs-rollover

The existing log file size is set to 50 MB and the number of days for logs retention is 20 days. You can modify these values as per your requirement. If the size of the log file reaches the set value (for example 50 MB), it is moved to the websocketCollector-current_date-number.log.gz file.

To change the size of the log file, days of log file retention, and log level, complete the following steps:
