Remove Pega Logs
Hi,
Is there any way to delete pega logs periodically? Do I have to write agent activity and delete those files separately or there is any out of the box feature available?

Depending on the version of Pega, you could configure prlogging.xml so that x number of log files are generated, with each log filling up until a size limit is reached. After the specified number of logs has been reached the oldest logs are overwritten. If you're interested in this, I can find the details (which will depend on the version of Pega in use).
Beyond that, I don't believe there is anything ootb that does this.

Yes i have already seen the post but then it has to do something at app server side. do we have anything OOTB in pega or writing the custom agent activity is the only option?

I don't see any OOTB way to achieve this functionality, may be others can help you if they are aware of it. I feel you should write the custom agent activity to perform this operation.

Thanks for the response!
Unfortunately overriding the log file won't serve the purpose here because our requirement is to delete pega log files after certain period of time as it contain some customer related data. But thanks again for providing an alternative solution.

As the override of logs doesn't satisfy your requirement then their is no ootb way to achieve this requirement.
