    • Update the glide.les.disable_logs_forwarding system property within the Log Export Service application to control log forwarding during migration or database reseeding operations.

    Before you begin

    Role required: admin

    About this task

    This property controls whether log forwarding is active in Log Export Service. By default, the value is set to false, meaning logs are forwarded normally. During database reseeding or migration, historical log records can be replayed or reprocessed, which may result in duplicate log exports to downstream systems. To prevent duplicate logs from being sent, set this property to true to temporarily pause LES forwarding. After the migration is complete, revert the value to false to resume normal operation.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Log Export Service > Sources.
    2. In the workspace filter navigator, enter sys_properties.list to access the system properties list.
      This opens the full list of system properties.
    3. In the Name column, search for glide.les.disable_logs_forwarding.
      In case you do not find the property glide.les.disable_logs_forwarding, you can create a new system property by following these steps:
      1. Select New on the top-right corner of your screen to create new system property.
      2. In the Name field enter glide.les.disable_logs_forwarding.
      3. In the Type field, select true | false.
        Only the Name and Type fields are required. All other fields are optional and can be left empty.
    4. Open the record.
    5. The default value is false, which means log forwarding is active.
    6. In the Value field, set the value based on your requirement:
      Property Value When to use
      glide.les.disable_logs_forwarding true During migration or DB reseeding, this disables log forwarding.
      glide.les.disable_logs_forwarding false Default. After migration is complete, this re-enables log forwarding.
    7. Select Update to save the change.

    Result

    When the property is set to true, Log Export Service stops forwarding logs, ensuring no data is sent during a migration or DB reseeding event. Once the operation is complete and the value is reverted to false, log forwarding resumes automatically. This configuration allows administrators to safely pause log forwarding during maintenance windows without affecting the underlying LES configuration.

    Warning:
    After migration or database reseeding is complete, revert the property value to false. If you do not revert this setting, log forwarding stops permanently and may result in missing log data in downstream systems.
