Hi, Generally it is a better idea to do all the rotation from a Schedule block since the check would be invoked less frequently rather than doing it every time before storing each log message.
The problem with this is that you seem to be writing multiple files and the built-in file rotation functions don't support wildcards at this time as noted earlier.
