Note: This option should be used sparingly. UPS View receives large quantities of data. The system automatically sends the required data to UPS View. This data will then be logged to a disk. You do not need to store all of the data all of the time.

Note: The files are not deleted automatically, the files must be deleted manually as needed.

Increment Log Files

This menu option will flush data to disk, close old log files, and open a new set of log files (effectively incrementing the file number).
