The following table shows the options for the $LogFile device type.
| Option | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
| file | file=somefilename | File name. By default, this option will be the name of the executible file (.exe) with the .wtl extension. If you want to specify the full path name, you need to escape the file name with double-quote (for example, file="c:\temp\myxmllog.xml"). |
| Maxsize | Maxsize=someinteger | Maximum file size, in bytes. If Writemode does not equal overwrite, Maxsize is ignored. |
