  • If Agent Client Collector logs get too large, they can drain system resources. To ensure system efficiency, configure parameters in the acc.yml file by which to rotate logs out of the system's storage (Windows default location = C:\ProgramData\ServiceNow\agent-client-collector\config\acc.yml. Linux default location = /etc/servicenow/agent-client-collector/acc.yml).
