Can we delete old log files for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows?

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows automatically archives log files to its dedicated ArchivedLogs location. See How logging works in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows for details.

The common preinstalled Monitoring Apps use the ArchivedLogs folder as their source. See Monitoring a Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows site.

By default, the apps will read 3 months of data. Depending on your use of the Monitoring Apps it is safe to delete the ArchivedLog files per your maintenance requirements.

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind 

Is there any parameter to say: files older than x days will be automatically deleted?

Thanks in advance

Hello @LDR 

Not from Qlik Sense's side, no. You should not be seeing older log files in your live folder, as we roll over into the archive regularly (see How logging works in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows). From there, you can always set up a 3rd party tool to clean up archived logs where needed.

All the best,
Sonja
