AppMon 7.1 How to manage server logs size?
Hi,
In order avoid disk saturation because of endless logging, I would like to know how are managed (or how can I manage) the AppMon server logs size (threshold by size or by date? File rotation and deletion?).
Thanks for your help.

Logs are rotated based on a max file size in AppMon. If you look into the server.config.xml file (or the relevant file for any other AppMon components) you can find a loggingconfig entry that has settings for the max file size and how many old files to continue storing. By default in mine it looks like the default for the standard Server logs is a max of 5 log files stored at once with a maz size of ~10MB:
<loggingconfig path="../log/collector/Dynatrace Collector" console="INFO" maxfiles="5" level="ALL" correlationmaxfiles="2" maxbytes="10485760" correlationmaxbytes="31457280" html="false" append="true" />
I wouldn't change these defaults without a good reason, you shouldn't need to do any manual management of log files.

Hi @James K.
Thanks for your answer. I'll look into it and see if that can help our sysadmins.
