Managing log files for cloud:

https://epicor.ideas.aha.io/ideas/KIN-I-3605

Just got bitten by this AGAIN. All tasks started failing Friday night due to out of disk space. Of course cloud team did not respond until a few hours ago. It’s really frustrating that we have no ability to clear our own log files or even see that we are running out of disk space.

There are so many solutions.
Like how in the server log, you can set the max size of the log file, and the number of log files, and they just recycle themselves forever - why don’t we have that functionality for multi-company, MRP, PO suggestions, and any other process that generates a log?

Or allow cloud customers to implement their own log file management scripts.

Or even just ability to browse/view/delete their log file directories.

You can also create a new grid as an alternative to hacking the exported zip file. But I totally agree that we need a simple dashboard copy feature.

Or, as mentioned in the DevOps idea, allow for external logging to alternate sinks like cheap blob storage and automatically purge the local copies after a day.
