It disappears a piece at a time - the oldest entries disappear first.
However, it vanishes even when there are only 2-3 lines in it so I didn't
think capacity was in play as I expected.
So for example I might see a rate-limit entry from someone spamming the
system and then it will usually be gone in a couple days and the buffer is
completely empty. Similarly if I do something like ifconfig em0 down;
ifconfig em0 up ; it's logged but disappears after a day or so.
I'm looking to see if this is just a cron job or something clearing it as
it might be user-error on my part. Also this is an older system so I'll
probably look at it again after I update.
Thank you,
Dan

It already is a fixed memory size. Do you see it all disappear at once, or
over time?
