OpsCenter systemprofile java# files - management, cleanup, etc

So, my OpsCenter server crashed today ( I just updated to 8.1.2 ) and it was due to the C: drive filling up!

Bunches of java## files in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile - if you use OpsCenter check it out. Apparently at earlier versions there was a bug that created tonnes of these and left them there - I had ones from 2006 - 2016.

1. Letting you know you may want to clean these up, apparently you can delete the old ones without issues.

2. Found these two solved links:

https://vox.veritas.com/t5/OpsCenter/What-are-System32-config-systemprofile-javaXX-log-files-in/m-p/850868

https://vox.veritas.com/t5/OpsCenter/OpsCenter-Java-Logging-to-systemprofile/m-p/758765

Neither one clearly resolves how to manage these files - so that is my question

3. Is there anywhere I can configure to max these out either by number of files or size to prevent them from filling my C: drive again?

    Problem

    After install or upgrade of OpsCenter to version 8.1.2 on Linux or Windows, the java0.log file continues to grow in size until it fills up the file system.

    The location of the java0.log file:
    Linux:  /root/java0.log
    Windows:  C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\java0.log

      Solution

    1.)  Edit the log.conf file, adding the following lines:
    148.LogManagerResetFlag=true
    147.LogManagerResetFlag=true
    
    The location of the log.conf file:
    Linux:  /opt/SYMCOpsCenterServer/config/log.conf
    Windows:  <install_path>\OpsCenter\server\config\log.conf
    
    
    2.)  Then the OpsCenter services need to be restarted to read in the changes. 
    
    The services can be bounced by using the following commands:
    Linux:
    /opt/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh stop 
    /opt/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh start
    
    Windows:
    <install_path>\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat stop
    <install_path>\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat start

      Thanks for brining that up ... 

      I recovered 41GB by doing so and was close to fill up system drive!!

      What a shame I can't click KUDO on this ... most likely due to subject being solved....

      Hi, 

      Can you please let me know what exactly editing the log file as "LogManagerResetFlag=true" does? What is its functionality?

      148.LogManagerResetFlag=true
      147.LogManagerResetFlag=true
