Logging level
MetaDefender Managed File Transfer logs information with different levels starting from Debug (very detailed) to Fatal.
Log rotation options
Log rotation settings define when a new log file should be created. You can configure the system to start a new log file when the current log file reaches a specified size, by date (each new day a new log file is created) or both (specified size and each day).
Log retention options
Log retention settings define when log files should be deleted. You can configure the system to delete previous log files by date (after a specified number of days), by size (when log size reaches a specified size) or both.
When Both is selected for log retention options, the relation between By size and By date is an OR. Essentially, whichever criteria is met first triggers the log cleanup process.
The log cleanup process in MetaDefender Managed File Transfer runs every hour, following the completion of the previous cleaning job. Additionally, it initiates after a HELPER service restart.
After you have configured the desired options click Update in order to apply the changes.
