Server UI logs

I found this thread that shows the UI error log path - https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Discussions/Alteryx-ProgramData-ErrorLogs/td-p/10212... 

 

Is there a way to change this path?

Is there a way to automatically delete files in one of the ErrorLogs folders?

 

The problem I am having is a small sized C: drive that rapidly fills and causes the server to not run workflow apps.

Hi @dYoast ,

 

Yes, it is possible to change the path and here you can see how. https://help.alteryx.com/20223/server/configure-and-use-server-logs

 

Usually, changing the workspace path to a different drive is common to avoid this kind of issue since the persistence layer (MongoDB) will store all the server data on this drive, which could also impact the performance if there isn`t enough space. In addition to that, you have the impact related to the temporary files being created during workflow executions.

 

These are the things I would change.

Workspace to a different drive

Level to low: only change it back to high to troubleshoot something for Alteryx support

Regarding deleting the logs, I suggest building a bat script to delete old files or to periodically delete them manually.

 

Best regards,
