Enable/Disable verbose logging

I am seeing hundreds of files named debug.log.<timestamp> building up in my logs/support directory. I assume that Adobe Support enabled some kind of verbose logging when they helped me with my v8 upgrade back in February (vie a remote session).

These files are being saved each day and each on is larger than the last (up to 33MB each now; 4GB+ in all). I only noticed this because I am beginning to run a little low on space. I imagine that is a way to disable this feature, but I assume it would be via the command line. Does anyone know how to do this?

Re: Enable/Disable verbose logging

How many debug.log files are you showing? By default Connect keeps 7 days' worth (we upped ours since users do not always report issues within 7 days).

In breeze\appserv\conf\config.ini, the 'LOG_ROTATE_KEEP' is the number of days of log files to keep. This setting is located under the 'LOG_FILE=../logs/support' section. There are a few sets of log files, I don't recall which one this hits -- the other log file settings are all nearby in the same file.

Teresa, are you on Connect 8? The parameters you mention are not present in breeze\appserv\conf\config.ini on my C8 server. I believe the abundance of log files that Mike sees is the result of Connect 8 not deleting old log files as previous versions did. It rotates them more frequently than C7.5 did (twice a day in many cases) but it doesn't seem to ever delete logs.

Does anyone have info on parameters for deleting old log files in C8?

Thanks.

Re: Enable/Disable verbose logging

@tlchurch I agree with anhyzer. I am running v8 and cannot find that string (or anything similar) in my config.ini file.

But to answer your question, there are currently 216 debug.log.* files in my ..\logs\support directory. They go back several months and are about 30+MB each. Right now I am just manually deleting the old ones every once in a while, but I would really like to know how to turn the logging level down to a more reasonable level (or at the very least, set a retention policy for the log files).
