Log File Maintenance

The agent keeps a set of logs that you must clear periodically to maintain disk space availability. The log files contain records of all messages between the agent and the scheduling manager, and internal messages. These files are located in the log directory by default and are updated continually while the agent is running. The types and number of logs that are generated depend on the log.level parameter set in the agentparm.txt file.

You can configure agent log file properties that control the log file size, the types and number of log files that are generated, and how the agent archives the log files. Depending on your scheduling manager, you can also clear log files manually.
