I have a problem with this file, its too large. Under the ingition.conf is set as default 1024MB so I have no idea how to solve it. Please I need your help. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/0/500fc5fcf42d1ca7369354a20ffda9db60483e38.png) ---

there are some wrapper settings in the `Ignition/data/igntion.conf` file ---

The default configuration is to rotate the wrapper log when it grows past a configured size (defaults to keeping 5 rolled files of 10MB maximum size), e.g.: ```auto # Maximum size that the log file will be allowed to grow to before # the log is rolled. Size is specified in bytes. The default value # of 0, disables log rolling. May abbreviate with the 'k' (kb) or # 'm' (mb) suffix. For example: 10m = 10 megabytes. wrapper.logfile.maxsize=10m # Maximum number of rolled log files which will be allowed before old # files are deleted. The default value of 0 implies no limit. wrapper.logfile.maxfiles=5 ``` Typical causes of logfile rotation failure are something holding onto a lock on that file, something like an antivirus program, for example. At this point, you can try simply deleting it (recommend _Shift-Delete_ to immediately delete versus trying to send to Recycle Bin). It will re-create the file automatically. ---

Has the gateway service been restarted since those changes were made? They don't take immediate effect. ---

Actually I didn't make any changes, I misspelled on the first post, sorry for that. ---

There was a problem with user file permissions over Log directory, I had to ask IT team to give "Modify" permissions, erase that wrapper.log file and restart the gateway. 🙂
