 * **maxFiles:** Maximum number of logs to keep. If not set, no logs will be removed. This can be a number of files or number of days. If using days, add 'd' as the suffix. (default: null)
 * **options:** An object resembling https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_createwritestream_path_options indicating additional options that should be passed to the file stream. (default: `{ flags: 'a' }`)
 * **auditFile**: A string representing the name of the name of the audit file. This can be used to override the default filename which is generated by computing a hash of the options object. (default: '.<optionsHash>.json')
+* **utc**: Use UTC time for date in filename. (default: false)
