Its a know issue

Schedule a task into your windows to cleanup this folder and C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\EDXResults that grows too much too

my EDXresults isn't that big. Its about 3MB the whole dir

Where as - Each root file in Qlikiew\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log is about 3GB.

Also - one question that I have is -

in the

System -> qlikview servers -> logging ->

Enable session loggin

enable performance logging every 5 mins

Enable event loggin

enable Audit loggin

Question:What is the regular practice to have the following checked? I have all above checked

Event log verbosity

low

medium (checked)

high

May be if I change above it wont log that much - does any of these changes need qlikview services restart?

Your setup is same as mine, I want to check what my users are doing (Audit loggin) and capture errors ( event loggin)

You can schedule a cleanup or create a manual process to 'check and delete' old files

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\EDXResults is path not so big in size but keep thousands of files (Windows Servers seems not to 'like' it)

No need of restart your services

disabled this piece -- so basically marked as false

1. Open the Qlikview Distribution Service application folder (e.g. C:\Program

2. Open "QlikviewDistributionService.exe.config" in Notepad

3. Locate the line reading ""

4. Change the value in the line below to "true"

5. Save and close. (Repeat for each cluster node if Cluster environment)
