Server log files - can they be auto-purged?

Question

In our current Server deployment, we generate log files for the Gallery, Controller, and Workers. These log files have remained on our server and are piling up after several months of operation. I'm aware of some options in Server configuration to reduce the amount of content that is logged, or not generate a log at all, but am not aware of options to auto-delete old log files after a specified timeframe.

Is there a way in Alteryx Server to clean up (delete) old log files? Or, would I need to develop a script or process to do that independent of Server?

Thanks!

Kevin

You might want to use a directory tool and create a deleteme file that you can Ron from a script. At the completion of your job, use an event to run it.
