The following are advanced parameters. They should not be modified in most common use cases:

Option	Required	Default	Values	Example	Description
stream_sleep	No	1	Positive integer (1/10 seconds)	5	Time to sleep when reading header packets from FD and not having a full header available
stream_max_wait	No	120	Positive integer (seconds)	360	Max wait time for FD to answer packet requests
time_max_last_modify_log	No	86400	Positive integer (seconds)	43200	Maximum time to wait to overwrite a debug log that was marked as being used by another process
logging_max_file_size	No	50MB	String size	300MB	Maximum size of a single debug log file (working/s3/s3-debug.log* files containing debug information which is more detailed with a greater debug number)
logging_max_backup_index	No	25	Positive integer (number of files)	50	Maximum number of log files to keep
split_config_file	No	=	Character	:	Character to be used in config_file parameter as separator for keys and values
opener_queue_timeout_secs	No	1200	Positive integer (seconds)	3600	Timeout when internal object opener queue is full
publisher_queue_timeout_secs	No	1200	Positive integer (seconds)	3600	Timeout when internal object publisher queue is full

The internal plugin logging framework presents some relevant features:

The “.log” files are rotated automatically. Currently each file can be 50Mb at maximum and the plugin will keep 25 files.
This behavior may be changed using the internal advanced parameters: logging_max_file_size and logging_max_backup_index
The rotated “.log” files are renamed like {path}/s3/s3.%d{yyyy-MM-ddHHmm}.log.gz, where path is taken from the value of the path parameter and %d is the date.
The “.err” file may show contents even if no real error occurred in the jobs. It may also show contents even if debug is disabled. This file is not rotated, but it is expected to be a small file in general. If you still need to rotate it, you can include it in a general log rotating tool like ‘logrotate’.
Backups in parallel and also failed backups will generate several log files. For example: s3-debug-0.log, s3-debug-1.log…
