# Specify the Maximum Size of the Log File

You can specify the maximum size of the log file. When this size is reached and new entries are logged, either the first entry in the file is overwritten or the new entries are not reported.

To configure the maximum log size and whether old entries are overwritten, add the following section to the `formats.ini` file:

    [Kvooplog]
    LogFileSize=10
    OverWriteLog=1

Option | Description
--- | ---
`LogFileSize` | This option specifies the maximum size of the log file in KB. The minimum is 1 K. If a size is not specified, the default 2 MB is used.
`OverWriteLog` | This option determines whether the log file is overwritten when the maximum log file size (`LogFileSize`) is reached. If you set this option to `1`, the first entry in the log file is overwritten. If you set this option to `0`, new entries are not reported in the log file.
