Qlik Sense Enterprirse on Windows Log Archiver / Eraser

Levi_Turner — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 12:26:35 GMT

This is a PowerShell script which will move (or delete) older logs from the Qlik Sense default logging directories. This is useful as a tool to cleanup old logs if there are no requirements to keep them.

The valid configurable parameters are:

$days: Age threshold. The default value of 60 will move/erase all logs older than 60 days old
$option1 - This will move the files (see the robocopy flags for more configurable options)
$option2: This will move the files in all sub-directories (see the robocopy flags for more configurable options)
$option3: is for fine tuning robocopy, set to only touch files.
$option4: set the logfile location
$source - This is the path where you want to copy from. The default value is the Archived Logs folder, which is typically the place where old logs go.
$dest: The place where the logs will be moved to
$removelogs: N(o) then the logs will be kept in the $dest path or Y(es) then the logs will be deleted from the $dest path

Changelog:

v2: added /LOG:$scriptDir\robolog.log /MT to robocopy. ~40% performance improvement

v3: added a better handling of deleting files + and additional version without robocopy if you just need to clean the files called deletearchivedlogs_olderthan60days.ps1
