• Rotating log files are supported only with CHARON-AXP and CHARON-VAX V4.7 minimum and Linux Toolkit 42 minimum

• Log files are automatically archived at guest start whatever the log_method parameter is set in the configuration file so a new one is created each time.
• The logs are kept for 60 days by default. See "Manage recurring jobs: license expiration check, log events (cron)" to change settings.
• When using the log file edition, only 16 most recent ones are displayed in the list. To get older files, you will need to find them in the log file folder with name identical to the defined log file and with extension:
  • ".upto<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMNSE>" (example: /charon/pluto.log.upto2015-07-02-172824 ) if the virtual machine is not using rotating log files or
  • as defined by the log rotation mechanism (example: /charon/logs/pluto-2015-11-30-14-13-55-000000000.log )

• When selecting the log file:
  
  • the 'From' date is either based on the first line including a date found in the log file or on file creation time
  • the 'To' date corresponds to the date time the file was archived (renamed before guest start)
• It is highly recommended to use 'vim' or 'gvim' (if possible and if installed) to have the benefits of log highlighting
