Cleanup Thinfinity Log Files for Virtual ViewX

[du5tin]

Has anyone had to deal with Thinfinity (part of VVX) logs filling up their hard drive when they are enabled?

Here is a powershell scrip that can be used to clean up Thinfinity log files older than a week so that the logs don't fill the hard drive. Trigger it with Windows Task Scheduler. This script assumes the location of the logs was customized to C:\Geo SCADA\Logs.

$folder = "C:\Geo SCADA\Logs"
$cutoff = (Get-Date).AddDays(-3)

# Use this line to print the file names to console
#Get-ChildItem $folder -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt $cutoff -and $_.PSIsContainer -eq $False } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name

# Use this line to delete the files
Get-ChildItem $folder -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt $cutoff -and $_.PSIsContainer -eq $False } | Remove-Item
