To balance the need for logs while considering disk usage, each .NET agent will limit disk usage to 250MB using log rolling. The agent will first log to the file newrelic_agent_UNIQUENAME.log
and create the file if it doesn't exist. Once that file reaches 50MB in size, the agent will:
- Create a new log file.
- Roll each existing log file to a new, sequentially numbered name (up to four archived files).
- Delete the fourth archive.
To roll the log files, the old newrelic_agent_UNIQUENAME.log
becomes the new newrelic_agent_UNIQUENAME.log(1)
. Then, the old newrelic_agent_UNIQUENAME.log(1)
becomes the new newrelic_agent_UNIQUENAME.log(2)
, and so on. The old newrelic_agent_UNIQUENAME.log(4)
is deleted.
