MX 8 Archived Logs location

What happens to the log files when the archive log action is clicked under Log Files in the Enterprise Administrator?
Prior to MX 8, the log file was copied to a file with a number appended to the file name and left in the logs folder. In MX8 that is not happening so either the archive action isn't working or the file is being put somewhere else.

    Could be worth a shot, see here:

    I somehow doubt that this functionality was broken in 8.0...but you never know.

    Then it must be the release level.
    I see if I can get my software updated.

    Yea I'm looking at the correct directory. I see the active log file just fine (the new initialized image).
    Are you running enterprise?

    Are you sure you're looking in the right directory? The archive process is working exactly as expected on our test server. (CF 8.0.1)

    I just archived the "exception.log", and confirmed on the file system that the "exception.log" file was properly truncated, and a file named "exception.log.1" was created.
