Elements logs and server maintenance

Edited

Regular house-keeping is required to ensure that the three types of Elements logging are not affecting the system:

Truncating logs: Please ensure that these are truncated regularly. Manage this configuration under System Admin > Logs & Monitoring > Database Log Truncation.
Application logs: These must be deleted manually. Our recommendation is to not keep logs that are 6 months or older.
Transaction Log (SQL Server): These must be deleted manually. Our recommendation is to not keep logs that are 6 months or older.

Truncating logs

There are a number of logs that are maintained in the Elements operational database.

Application logs

Elements have a number of applications that write to text logs on the server where the system is installed.

Transaction Log (SQL Server)

Every SQL Server database has a transaction log that records all transactions and the database modifications made by each transaction. The transaction log must be truncated on a regular basis to keep it from filling up.
