When the log file for a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express component reaches its maximum size, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express either creates an additional log file for the component or overwrites the current one, depending on whether you turn on log auto-roll.

By default, log auto-roll is turned on for all BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components, which means that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express creates an additional log file when the current log file reaches its maximum size.

You can specify a different maximum size for each log file.
