I was hoping the 2023.2 version would fix this but it has not. The log file for ArcGIS Monitor does not seem to be trimmed to the log retention period in Admin>Logs>Log Retention Period.

The log file at C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Monitor\bin\arcgis-monitor-server-service.err.log has grown to 82GB over the time since we've had Monitor installed. Is there a way to keep this trimmed down?

Hi Max, the log retention applies to the software logs that are stored in the SQLite database in the configuration store (C:/<user>/AppData/Local/ESRI/ArcGISMonitor). Monitor 2023.3 will include a fix for the logs that you mentioned in your post.

With that being said, I have never seen this log file even come close to 82GB. Can you submit a case through Esri support to see why this file has grown so large?
