>From the CLI Guide... fw logswitch creates a new active Log File. The current active Log File is closed and renamed by default $FWDIR/log/current_time_stamp.log unless you define an alternative name that is unique. The format of the default name current_time_stamp.log is YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.log. For example: 2003-03-26_041200.log.
Warning: . The Logswitch operation fails if a log file is given an pre-existing file name. . The rename operation fails on Windows if the active log that is being renamed, is open at the same time that the rename operation is taking place; however; the Logswitch will succeed and the file will be given the default name $FWDIR/log/current_time_stamp.log. The new Log File that is created is given the default name $FWDIR/log/fw.log. Old Log Files are located in the same directory. A SmartCenter server can use fw logswitch to switch a Log File on a remote machine and transfer the Log File to the SmartCenter server. When a log file is sent to the SmartCenter server, the data is compressed.
