 - **roll_disabled** disables log rolling. This can lead to disk space depletion, so only use this if your log files are maintained some other way.
 
 - **roll_size** is the size at which to roll the log file. The current implementation supports megabyte resolution; fractional values are rounded up to the next whole megabyte. For example, `1.1MiB` is rounded up to `2MiB`.
