Sharepoint logs management?

Copper Contributor

Hi,

     I want to manage logs for my sharepoint intranet. We already set the log period 14 days(delete before 14 days). But still the GB taking is too much. How can i set it store only for eg 5GB and delete automatically old logs.

Also one more doubt now i have 200GB log on server if i delete it is there any issue? will it affect any other functionality?

How did you set the log period for 14 days?

@Juan Carlos González Martín 

 

set through central admin=>Monitoring=>Configure Diagnostic Logs=>Set 14 Days

@NIDHIN C what is the TraceSeverity you are using, that can have impact on amount of log generated please check Powershell commands here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/configure-diagnostic-logging#configure-di...

 

Also deleting logs will not impact functionality, SP will create a new log file
