Periodically cleaning up Service Logs
Info: This requires Enterprise Server 10.1.7, or Enterprise Server 10.4.1 or higher.
When Service logging is enabled, the smart_log table can quickly fill up with a large number of entries. This can result in performance issues.
To clean up the table, an Enterprise Server Job named 'AutoCleanServiceLogs' can be periodically run.
Step 1. Make sure that Enterprise Server is set up and configured to run Server Jobs.
Step 2. In Enterprise Server, access Integrations > Job Configurations and configure the Server Job named 'AutoCleanServiceLogs'.
Step 3. Enable the following options in the configserver.php file (or better, the config_overrule.php file):
Note: For configuration details, see the comments in the configserver.php file.
- AUTOCLEAN_SERVICELOGS_DAYS
- LOGLEVEL
