DataLoaderWorker.exe.log files, FTIAttachmentWorker.exe.log and ifilterhost.exe.log files are teking up excessive disk space. By default these logs are present in C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\ArchiveManager directory.

The aftermail.logging.config.xml file controls how many log files are kept for the main service executables in this directory however the DataLoaderWorker.exe, iFilterHost.exe and FTIAttachmentWorker.exe do not adhere to this xml file. The DataLoaderWorker.exe, iFilterHost.exe and FTIAttachmentWorker.exe make use of their own configuration files to control how many log files are created and by default it is limitless.

2. Open the DataLoaderWorker.exe.config file with a text editor.
3. Find the line <rollingStyle value="Composite" /> and replace the word Composite with Size.
4. Verify that this line now reads: <rollingStyle value="Size" /> and Save.
5. Complete the same steps above for the iFilerHost.exe.config and FTIAttachmentWorker.exe.config.
6. Once the configuration files have been updated, restart the Archive Manager Data Load Service and Archive Manager Full Text Index Service.
7. Delete all time stamped logs in the Archive Manager directory. An example of these files include; FTIAttachmentWorker.exe.log20111111.2 and DataLoaderWorker.exe.log2011101.
