     options:
       syslog-address: "tcp://192.168.0.42:123"
 
+To limit the amount of logs stored there are two options key-value pairs:
+
+    options:
+      max-size: "200k"
+      max-file: "10"
+
+This example would store log files until the reach a `max-size` of 200kB, and then rotate them.
+The amount of individual log files stored is specified by the `max-file` value. As logs grow
+beyond the max limits, older log files are removed to allow storage of new logs.
