Log File Manager settings

When selected, log files are rotated according to the time of day (in hours and minutes), as specified in the input field that is provided.

The 24-hours format is used here. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00.

When selected, log files are rotated according to a time interval, which is specified in the following input fields.

The available network protocols are FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTPS, SFTP, and SCP.

A variable can be added to the path name to specify the pushing process more precisely.

For example, %h can be added for the host name of the appliance that log files are pushed from. The destination could then be specified as : ftp://myftp.com/%h

When the log files are pushed, the variable is replaced with the appropriate value, which is a host name in this example.

The variables that you can use here include:

• %h — Host name of an appliance
• %y — Current year (four digits)
• %m — Current month (one or two digits)
• %% — Used for specifying the % character (if it is to occur in a host name)

The variable %h can be specified for the user name. It is replaced by the host name of the current appliance at run time.

Clicking Set allows you to set a new password.
