Logs are written to five files, each file with a maximum size of 10 MB. When the fifth file is completed, the new logs start overwriting the old log files. If you enable the archiving process, the set of five files is converted into a ZIP file and stored as an archive on the file system. A cluster restart is needed for the changes to take effect.
Enable AS Java Archive Old Logs
Open your VisualAdmin > Global or Cluster > Server / Dispatcher > Services > Log Configurator > Properties: ArchiveOldLogFiles = ON. Log archiving is activated. After the ZIP file is done, the new logs keep on overwriting the old log files.
Disable AS Java Archive Old Logs
Open your VisualAdmin > Global or Cluster > Server / Dispatcher > Services > Log Configurator > Properties: ArchiveOldLogFiles = OFF
