Resolution

To rotate the logs via the WEB UI:

1. Navigate to Configuration - Access Logging - Logs - Upload Schedule. 

2. Go to 'Rotate the log file:' section.

-From the 'Daily at' drop-down list, specify the time of day to rotate the logs (for continuous uploads).

ProxySG#
ProxySG#conf t
ProxySG#(config)access-log
ProxySG#(config access-log)edit log main
ProxySG#(config access-log)edit log main
ProxySG#(config log main)continuous-upload rotate-remote ?
 daily                        Specify time of day to switch remote logfiles
 hourly                       Switch remote logfile every "n" hours

ProxySG#(config log main)continuous-upload rotate-remote daily ?
 <rotation hour (0-23)>
ProxySG#(config log main)continuous-upload rotate-remote hourly ?
 <hours> [minutes]
