Hello,

- Wapt Enterprise v2.4.0.14143.
- Windows Server 2016

My log files in C:\wapt\log:
nginx-access.log -> 2.21GB :o
nssm_waptserver.log -> 465MB
nssm_wapttasks.log -> 127MB

Can I delete them?

Hi Vincent,

yes, there is a default log rotation in waptserver for Linux, but this isn't the case for the Windows server. You can stop the services, delete the logs, and restart the services.

If you're comfortable with the Linux command line, I recommend migrating the server to Linux; nginx is much more efficient, and you'll be able to enable Kerberos authentication.

Best regards,

Denis
