BuildForge 33G db.log

In my production server, the D:\Program Files\IBM\Build Forge\db.log is 33G now. The doc says it's BF log and PHP log, can I just delete it?

Hello, 

It is safe to go ahead and delete the log. Build Forge will auto-generate a new one and start logging from that point forward. 


The db.log is primarily only used to debug issue when Build Forge starts up or when using advanced debugging. It does record agent connectivity tests, but since the UI has agents with a red x when unavailable. It does not offer a whole lot in way of debugging anything else. 

If you have say 100 servers but only 25 are on at any given time and server test are set even semi frequent. Then the db.log can grow over time as it records failed server tests that you already know will fail because they are off. Although, you may want frequent server tests to occur so depending on the situation. You could delete the logs every few months to ensure they do not grow to large. 


Thanks!

 Hi Ryan


Thanks for the answer, why BF is generating so much log, is there a way to make it less or turn it off?

Thanks
Jirong
