    What is the default size for a log rotation on a VM?

    Can this be changed? How would i verify the current value on a specific VM ?

    My goal is to rotate logs at 10MB and keep a maximum of 10 logs. (100MB Total))

    Thanks,

    It's vmx.log.rotateSize in VM settings.

    Control When to Switch to New Virtual Machine Log Files

    log.keepOld = "10"

    log.throttleThreshold may be also useful
