Value

generations is the number of log files that will be saved within the log directory.

The maximum number of generations of log files that can be saved is 999.

Default is 5.


Note

If the value is decreased, only the specified number of generations will be maintained. The "excess" log files are not cleaned up immediately, but as the log files rotate, this "excess" will be cleaned up and reused.
