Centralized logging has been deprecated with the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows May 2021 release. This article is only valid for previous versions. No support can be provided on Qlik Centralized logging as all Qlik Sense versions using it have reached end of life.
The Qlik Sense Logging Database can grow very quickly depending how big your environment is. It might necessary to purge it to avoid performance issue and/or storage problem.
NOTE: Qlik Sense Centralized logging will be deprecated by the end of year 2021. See Deprecation of Centralized Logging in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
To do so
- To set an archiving and purging schema you need to run the following in a Command Line:
- "C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Logging"\Qlik.Logging.Service.exe update --archive_age x --purge_age y (where archive_age value must be lower than purge_age, otherwise will fail)
- Where X and Y are a days threshold
To set a file size cap on the size of the database you need to run the following in a Command Line:
- "C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Logging"\Qlik.Logging.Service.exe update --maximum_db_size_in_gb n
- Where n is the size in GB
Note: This was written assuming a default installation path. You may need to adjust the path from "C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Logging\" to your installation path.
