How do I Rotate the Audit Logs in FireWall-1 NG

The VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG audit log type files are:

        

           xx.adtlog - stores the audit log records.

           xx.adtlogptr - provides pointers to the beginning of each log records.

           xx.adtloginitial_ptr - provides pointers to the beginning of each log chain (logs that shared the same  

           connection ID - LUUID). 

           xx.adtlogaccount_ptr - provides pointers to the beginning of each accounting record.

 

To purge/delete the current audit log files without saving it to a backup file, run:

# fw logswitch -audit ""

To logswitch and save the logs to a file, run:

# fw logswitch -audit

Example :

 

# fw logswitch -audit
