Issue/Introduction
How large does the confer.log file grow and how does it rotate?
Environment
- Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: 3.5.x.x and Higher
- Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
Resolution
- The confer.log file will grow to be 250 MB.
- Once it reaches that size, it will become a zip file named confer.log.1 and a new, empty confer.log file is created.
- When the next confer.log file reached 250 MB, confer.log.1 is renamed to confer.log.2.
- This process repeats until confer.log.20 is created.
- After confer.log.20 is created, if a new log file is generated, confer.log.20 is removed.
