To prevent NNSYMessageLog.nml from continuing to increase in size, the file is archived regularly.
The archiving process is triggered by the first message sent to the log after midnight of each processing day. If the engine is running, the timestamp for the archive file will be close to the midnight cutoff. If the engine is not running at midnight, the timestamp for the archive file will show the time the archive process is triggered.
The archive process saves the contents of the log to a file using the following naming convention:
NNSYMessageLog_YYYYMMDD.nml
Archive files are saved to the same location where the NNSYMessageLog.nml resides.
All archive files are retained, to be managed as the system administrator determines is appropriate for the site needs.
