Our Sharepoint installation currently has 30Gb of Usage Analysis Log file – these date back about six months.
I have configured Sharepoint to do Usage Analysis Processing every night, so I am wondering whether I need to keep these files for so long.
Sharepoint doesn’t seem to clean up these files automatically – I think six months ago I had to clear out logs due to disk space issues.
So my question is, do I need to retain these files in order to get decent usage analysis reports, or can I delete them as soon as the usage analysis processing has completed?
Answer
I would try to compress them with 7-zip and keep them around and see if they affect anything.
