Cleaning up application logs

Adeptia Suite maintains the logs of Kernel and WebRunner in the KernelaApplication.log and Webrunnerapplication.log files respectively stored at .../AdeptiaServer-x.x/ServerKernel/logs/applicationlogs folder. When any of these log files reaches the specified maximum size then Adeptia Suite renames the log file by appending it with a date-time stamp and creates a new file by the original name. By default, the maximum size specified for these files is 20MB.

These logs file can cause issues if they accumulate over a long period of time. Adeptia Suite has a Cleanup task that is scheduled to run at a specified time to clean up these files that are older than a specified number of days. By default, this cleanup runs at 3 AM daily and deletes the log files that are older than 5 days. You can configure the cleanup schedule and retain time by performing the following steps:

1. Click Administer > Setup > Application Settings > Update System Properties.
