Breeze log file directives

Issue

Breeze has many log files, two of which can be controlled by using .ini file directives.

Solution

There are six Breeze log file control directives. Three act upon the breeze.log file and the other three on thedebug.log file. The directives are placed in the custom.ini file located in the Breeze folder, by default this is C:\BREEZE\CUSTOM.INI.

BREEZE.LOG:

By default, this Breeze log file resides in C:\BREEZE\LOGS. The three control directives are:

CUSTOMER_LOG_FILE: Used to define the relative or full path to the folder where the log file(s) are to reside. For example, CUSTOMER_LOG_FILE=..\logs\
CUSTOMER_LOG_ROTATE_DAYS: Used to define how often to create a new log file. For example, to create a new log file every day, the directive would be CUSTOMER_LOG_ROTATE_DAYS=1.
CUSTOMER_LOG_ROTATE_KEEP: Used to define the number of log files to retain. For example, to retain a weeks worth of log files, the directive would be CUSTOMER_LOG_ROTATE_KEEP=7.

DEBUG.LOG

By default, this Breeze log file resides in C:\BREEZE\LOGS\SUPPORT. The three control directives are:

LOG_FILE: Used to define the relative or full path to the folder where the log file(s) are to reside. For example, LOG_FILE=..\logs\support\
LOG_ROTATE_DAYS: Used to define how often to create a new log file. For example, to create a new log file every day, the directive would be LOG_ROTATE_DAYS=1.
LOG_ROTATE_KEEP: Used to define the number of log files to retain. For example, to retain a weeks worth of log files, the directive would be LOG_ROTATE_KEEP=7.
