Description

After using audit logging in production, it turns out that documentation is lacking some important information.

Namely:

• roll_cycle can be overriden by Chronicle Queue
• max_log_size is ignored if archive_command option is set
• archive_command prevents Chronicle Queue Shrink Manager from working
