      Hi forum
      I have plenty of available disk space, and trying to expand my logs.
      Files in /var/log all showing maximum size of 499.5KiB
      This looks like default log file size of ~ 500Kib.
      A while ago, in the GUI, Status, System Logs, Settings I set the following :
      Log file size (Bytes) : 20000000
      That should be 20 MiB's.
      How do I get the pfSense to recognise the expanded log file size ?
      Does it need to reboot ?
      TIA's for any tips or clues.

      I'm not a complete idiot. There's still a few pieces missing.

        I just found the answer in the blog pages.

        "The new log size will not take effect until a log is cleared or reinitialized. This may be done individually from each log tab or it can be done for all logs using the [Trash-button] Reset Log Files button on this page. See Adjusting the Size of Log Files for more."
