+                                be stored preferably on disk,

+                                (which is created if needed), during

+                                is not created if needed, so that its

+                                goes. <literal>none</literal> turns
+                                off all storage, all log data received
+                                will be dropped. Forwarding to other

+                                kernel log buffer or a syslog daemon
+                                will still work however.  Defaults to
