Question

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SF\Log\Traces filling up fast

dipansh 1

Hi, we're noticing that our server is filling up fast due to this folder - C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SF\Log\Traces.
We have service bus installed and also have azure site recovery solution for this server which . Is it safe to delete the traces and what can we do to prevent such serious growth?

@dipansh Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Are you looking to just limit the size of the logs or have the automatically delete? For example, stop logging after X size or after some weeks remove logs?

There are some properties you can configure to limit the diagnostic logs sizes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-cluster-fabric-settings

Specifically this section: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-cluster-fabric-settings#diagnostics

Reduce Log size on Service Fabric node

Hope this helps! Looking forward for your reply!
