Is there a way to disable the baked-in Exchange 2013 diagnostic logging? I see google-fu around relocation of it, but couldn’t find an off switch. My concern relates to image-based backups of these systems and having to seed an extra semi-useless 1GB+ per day for things like this from a default install:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Logging\Diagnostics\DailyPerformanceLogs C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Logging\Monitoring\Monitoring\ActiveMonitoringTraceLogs Those directories appear to self-clean, so it's not a permanently growing file structure ... but it still results in a massive daily delta for image backups that'd just as soon avoid seeding to disk and cloud if I can. I know why it's there (preemptive diags for PSS in the event I need to invoke them) but curious if there's a way to just turn it off. Anyone know anything on this? I presume that turning off Health Manager service maybe helps, not sure if there's a downside to that, or if that's comprehensive enough to stop that data being written (maybe there's baked-in tasks as well, etc etc) Any insight/pointers appreciated. I don't mind having that data around except for the negative impact on those image-based backups. Rick
