# LogExpireAction

Determines how log files are handled when they exceed the maximum size. Type one of the following to determine how log files are handled when they exceed the `LogMaxSizeKBs` size:

Option | Description
--- | ---
`Compress` | The log file's name is appended with a timestamp, compressed and saved in the log directory. By default, this is a ZIP file. Use the `LogCompressionMode` parameter to specify another compression format.
`Consecutive` | The log file's name is appended with a number and saved in the log directory. When the next log file reaches its `LogMaxSizeKBs` size, it is appended with the next consecutive number.
`Datestamp` | The log file's name is appended with a timestamp and saved in the log directory.
`Previous` | The log file's name is appended with `.previous` and saved in the log directory. Every time a log file reaches its `LogMaxSizeKBs` size, it is given the same postfix so that it overwrites the old log file.
`Day` | Only one log file is created for each day and is appended with the current timestamp. Log files are archived after they reach the `LogMaxSizeKBs` size. NOTE: The `LogMaxSizeKBs` parameter takes precedence over the `LogExpireAction` parameter. Therefore, if you set `LogExpireAction` to `Day`, and the value for `LogMaxSizeKBs` results in more than one log file, multiple log files are generated for each day.

Type: | String
Default: | Datestamp
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Logging or LogStream or TaskName If you set this parameter in the `Logging` and `LogStream` sections, the setting in the `LogStream` section takes precedence for the specified log stream.
Example: | `LogExpireAction=Compress`
