Purging logs from C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log\Licenses on Qlik enterprise server

Hello ,

Our Qlik Sense server (Qlik sense Nov 2023 Patch 10 - 14.159.15) has accumulated logs (C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log\Licenses )over the past five years, and the size continues to grow. Currently, these logs are taking up approximately 45 GB of space. Please advise if Qlik Sense provides an option to purge logs that are older than a certain date?. And is it safe to delete files that are older than 2023?.

Best regards,
Swarup

Hi !

I developed a bat file to do that for me, and you may trigger over Windows Task Scheduler:

forfiles /P "C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log\Licenses " /S /M *.* /D -30 /C "cmd /c del @file"

Where -30 is the number of days of my log files that I want to delete ( more than 30 days )

Bye!
