LOGS MAX*
Hello,
I wish to enlarge the MaxAge, MaxDirectorySize and MaxFileSize of Connectivity Logs, Message Tracking Log and receive/Send Protocol Logs.
I can track up to 30 days and wondered if I could enlarge those logs to 60-90 days?

SendProtocolLogMaxAge : 30.00:00:00
SendProtocolLogMaxDirectorySize : 250MB
SendProtocolLogMaxFileSize : 10MB

I am a bit confused as I read that the message tracking logs have an age limit of 30 days..
Thanks,

You can set to whatever you want:
Example( Set to 90 days to keep and 50GB Max Directory Size)
Set-TransportServer NameofServer -MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize 50GB -MessageTrackingLogMaxAge 90.00:00:00

Thanks a lot. So there is no harm to run that (180 days and 999 GB)?
Set-TransportServer -identity EDGE02 -MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize 999GB -MessageTrackingLogMaxAge 180.00:00:00
Would that enlarge the MaxAge, MaxDirectorySize and MaxFileSize of Connectivity Logs, Message
Tracking Log and receive/Send Protocol Logs. ???
For information I have 30 Go free space on the partition where I store my logs.
All my logs are set to 250MB. So 250 x 4 = 1000MB so If I change it to 999MB --> 999
x 4 = 3996MB (4 Go). I should be an increase of 3 Go and not impact if much on the free space. Am I correct?

If you have the free space, available, no problem, but the reality is you probably will never need to go back farther than 30 days.

Just wanted to correct my command:
Set-TransportServer -identity EDGE02 -MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize 999GB -MessageTrackingLogMaxAge
180.00:00:00
should read
Set-TransportServer -identity EDGE02 -MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize 999MB -MessageTrackingLogMaxAge
180.00:00:00
I put GB instead of MB... :-P
