| In addition to size-based rotation, Couchbase Server starts a new Memcached log file when: | ||
|
|
||
| * You restart a node (you create a new log file on startup) |

The memcached process starts. This may happen as part of (re)starting a node, or if a crash occurs.

|
||
| * You restart a node (you create a new log file on startup) | ||
| * You turn on or turn off encryption for Memcached logs | ||
| * You turn on encryption and a key rotation occurs |

Should probably be: "Encryption for memcached logs is enabled and a key rotation occurs"
| * You turn on or turn off encryption for Memcached logs | ||
| * You turn on encryption and a key rotation occurs | ||
| Couchbase Server versions earlier than 8.0 rotates other log files automatically when they reach 40{nbsp}MB. |
