Analysis Services MaxFileSize and MaxNumberOfLogFiles

Question

I need to limit the size of msmdsrv.log file and clean up a certain number of old logs according to documentation for MaxFileSizeMB and MaxNumberFiles.
I followed the steps on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/analysis-services/instances/log-operations-in-analysis-services?view=asallproducts-allversions#bkmk_msmdsrv but it seems that it does not work.
I set them for example to:
MaxFileSizeMB = 1
MaxNumberFiles = 3
After modifying this configurations I also restarted the service and It created files with about 10 MB and keeps all old files.
Is there any other configuration to be done to have this working?
Is something that I could check ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You need to check the XML configuration you have made, check if you have committed exact same property name and number for your need.

For what I see, it should be

<MaxNumberOfLogFiles>3</MaxNumberOfLogFiles>

Instead of "MaxNumberFiles"
