Wrapper.log 18 Gigs

Ignition 8.0.12
My Wrapper.log is 18 Gigs… and counting.

Why is it allowed to become so big?
Can I delete that without stopping Ignition?

Sure, you can delete it. It should get created again as soon as something tries to log.

Any chance you have a non-default value for wrapper.logfile.maxsize in ignition.conf?

I cannot delete it…

I thinbk something is wrong…

Ah, on Windows you may not be able to delete it without stopping the gateway…

Ok…

But the question is: why is it so big?

I don’t know. A bug it seems. The service wrapper is supposed to be responsible for rolling the wrapper.log file, so it seems we may need check release notes and see if an upgrade is needed.
