Centralized logging has been deprecated with the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows Mary 2021 release. This article is only valid for previous versions. 

The article explains how to enable/disable Centralize logging mode when the logging database has already been set up during the installation, as well as how to remove the currently filled up database. 

If the database has not yet been created/setup see How to set up the Qlik Sense Logging Service

1. Verify Centralized Logging mode

• Open CMD.exe as Administrator
• Go to Logging folder: cd C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Logging
• Execute the following: Qlik.Logging.Service.exe validate

Hi, do I need to disable the Qlik Logging Service aswell to be sure that this is off?

Best regards, Jonas

Hello @jonas_viklund 

If you plan not to use the Logging Service, disabling the actual Windows service is recommended.

All the best,
Sonja
