It is going to help so much in working with support. Can't tell you how many times a log has been unworkable or useless because it has rolled over itself due to the fixed size "readable" limit, even 0 limit will stop at 2gb - not that is readable/manageable anyway
Max-Log-History: 3 Sql.log <- current log Sql.001.log ß oldest generation Sql.002.log Sql.003.log ß latest generation /rolled log Regards, Andrew C.

Are you referring to a rolling log, where you could set a max and then oldest entries drop off when the max size is reached to make room for new entries? That would be great to have some logs continually running for those unexpected times when you'd like to look at something that happened but the logs weren't on.

I just learned that is now available with a new ar.cg parameter Max-Log-History I don't know when this was implemented, maybe it was with 7.6.x but I wish BMC would have advertised this to admins or made this accessible on the Server Information Tab. e.g. Max-Log-History: 20 Regards, Andrew C.
