How do BroControl options affect Bro script variables?
------------------------------------------------------
Some (but not all) BroControl options override a corresponding Bro script variable.
For example, setting the BroControl option "LogRotationInterval" will override

See the :doc:`BroControl Documentation <components/broctl/README>` to find out
which BroControl options override Bro script variables, and for more discussion
on site-specific customization.
