Use itmcmd audit command to manage the size and number log files. These logs are located in /staging2/candle-m8//logs/.

Depending on the number of products you install and the amount of activity on your system, managing the size and number of log files in your install_dir directory can be critical. The itmcmd audit -l command enables you to remove or truncate log files.

The itmcmd audit -l command only takes action on those log files that are stored in the install_dir/logs subdirectory for the install_dir directory in which it is run.

The itmcmd audit command can consume time and resource. For best results, run this command during off hours. Run the itmcmd audit command to trim or delete files only when the agent is not running.
