Environment

Release : SAAS

Component :

Cause

A space missing after ":"

Correction has been requested for the Doc: 

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/dx-apm-saas/SaaS/implementing-agents/migrate-agents-using-cloud-proxy.html

Resolution

Cause: Guide is incorrectly documented. A space is needed  

Customer tried with a space after the ':'  and it worked. 

Resolution:

Correct syntax with space:

logging.file.max-history: 14

logging.file.total-size-cap: 1GB
