Are there any risks to deleting the logs regularly?


Question

Posted

Hello,

I am curious if I delete logs let's say every 1 or 2 months, that it will have a negative impact on server performance/cause crashes etc.

Can anyone tell me the possibilities of those things happening? Because logs are currently what's eating up the the server's storage. Maybe you can share best practices as well (when to delete, how etc)

Thanks!

Nope.. there's no negative impact on deleting the logs. 
those logs are there just for you to review whats going on on your server.. so its okay to delete them if you don't want to review the happening on your server =)

personally i would back them up in an archive on a separate system (maybe a personal NAS or something) in case you need to review them at a later date, then clear it from your server.

also do this during your regular maintenance as to not have any issues.
