Cleaning Up FME Server Logs and Other Files

SelectSystem Cleanup>Tasks。

To ensure that logs and other files do not consume too much disk storage over time, FME Server is configured, by default, to delete select files based on certain conditions, including their age and whether they have been auto-archived. On theTaskstab of theSystem Cleanuppage, you can view, edit, enable, disable, or remove these maintenance tasks, or add tasks of your own.

The tasks that are pre-configured (display by default) target log and other files created by FME Server. You can learn more about FME Server log files, and how log files are auto-archived, atAbout Log Files in FME Server。However, maintenance tasks need not be limited to the ones already configured. You can add tasks that target other FME ServerResources。

Note:By default, all system cleanup tasks run once per day.

When the system's free disk space reaches specified minimum levels, FME Server triggers a Default Cleanup or Aggressive Cleanup event, in which all enabled cleanup tasks execute. In the case of an Aggressive Cleanup event, all files specified by each cleanup task are removed, regardless of theRemove Files Older Thansetting.

For more information, and how to adjust these settings, seeConfiguring System Cleanup Settings。
