I think you might have set the mid.log.level to debug. You can revert it back to the value of 'info' and see if the log generation comes back to normal.

 

Go to the MID Server on the ServiceNow instance and change the value of mid.log.level to info in the parameters tab.

Your logs should auto-rotate out based on the setting in the mids /agent/conf/wrapper.conf .. You shouldn't have more than 10 records of agent logs that are no larger than 20mb each. Is that different for you?

Three options:

  1. Send a probe with topic=SystemCommand, source=deleteLog.
    One easy way to do this is to call
        new MIDServerManage().system_msg("*", "deleteLog");
    "*" does it for all mids, or you can fill in the name of a specific mid in the first argument.
  2. Go to the logs directory and just delete the things.
  3. Ignore them. The logs are rotated. The wrapper logs never get very large and the agent logs never exceed 100MB.
