Regarding Log Management in Qlik Replicate

[iti-attunity-sup]

Among the logs that Qlik Replicate outputs to the <data directory>\logs folder, which ones are subject to Log File Management?

As stated in the Qlik Replicate Setup and User Guide, are only the repsrv, repcmd, and reptask logs included, while Qlik.WebLog.log and repuictl logs are excluded?

Hello @iti-attunity-sup ,

By default, Qlik.WebLog.log and repuictl logs are rarely generated and remain very small in size, so they have no noticeable impact on performance or disk I/O.
If certain settings or operations cause unusually large or numerous log files, we recommend cleaning them up with a PowerShell script (or a shell script on Linux).

If you would like this functionality to be built in as a feature, please submit a request, which will be forwarded to our Product Management team for consideration.

Hope this helps.

John.

Hi @iti-attunity-sup ,

Inside the logs folder, there is a file named clean_old_logs.bat. You can execute it to delete all archived log files, or modify the batch file to delete only the files you prefer.

Regards,
Desmond

Hello John,

We have found that, under the current specifications of Qlik Replicate, neither Qlik.WebLog.log nor repuictl falls within the scope of the Log Management feature.

Thank you.
