Hi all ,
I was just wondering if any issues could cause if I increase LogRotationInterval from 3600 to higher . Could I run into any problems If so what kind of ? I would like to have day rotation instead of one hour.

Set:

LogRotationInterval = 86400

in your broctl.cfg

Thanks for reply,

However I wonder if there are any issues I could run into once Log rotation interval is changed to higher value.

I’ve not had a single issue…it’s wonderful and allows me to search by an entire day.

You could run into issue when the file rotation happens because of disk contention and increased cpu utilization (a days worth of logs will obviously take longer to compress that an hour’s worth).
