does anyone know how to disable logs saved in /var /log/genieacs/. To save space and processing. ---

You don’t say which version of GenieACS you are using, nor how you are starting the processes. We still use v1.1 and so we redirect the console logs to /var/log/genieacs via \>\>. Logs are incredibly powerful to figure out what went wrong. I suggest you leave them enabled and instead setup log rotation. ---

Sorry, I use version 1.2. The logs are really good, so I would like to disable and enable them only when necessary. ---

200k isn’t much data 😃. I do very extensive logging in our environment and our cwmp log file gets to about 180m per day, but compresses down to 12m. ``` $ gzip --list /var/log/genieacs/genieacs-cwmp.log-20200602.gz compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name 12231048 180150236 93.2% /var/log/genieacs/genieacs-cwmp.log-20200602 ``` ---

I don’t use 1.2 so you will have to dig in, but you can disable access logging. look for a param like cwmp\_access\_log\_file ---

I did it, but I didn’t know if it was the right way.
