Each log file is a fixed length list of entries, as shown in 

. The log files rotate as they fill; they 

do not wrap. The most recent events are always written to a .log file in the format 

<logname>.log

. 

When the first log file is full its contents are archived and rotated to 

logname.log.1.gz

. New events 

continue to be written to the file the 

.log

 file. When the 

logname.log

 file fills a second time, its 

contents rotate to 

logname.log.1.gz

 and the contents of the previously designated 

.log.1.gz

 rotate 

to 

.log.2.gz

. The log files rotate until five log files have been filled (

.log

, 

.log.1.gz

, 

.log.2.gz

., 

.log.3.gz

, 

.log.4.gz

). At that point the contents of the oldest log file, 

.log.4.gz

, are deleted.  

When ETEMS retrieves the log files from the ETEP, it gets the current and archived log files as 
individual files. The concatenated file contains only the current log files. Archived log files are saved as 
compressed .gz files. To view the archived files, use gzip, WinZip, or 7-zip to decompress them.
