Veeam Proxy Log File settings

[MuenchF]

Hi,

Config Overview:
Server 1: Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 with Update 1
Server 2: Veeam Proxy 1
Server 3: Veeam Proxy 2

Question:
All Servers are saving the log files to C:/ProgramData/Veeam/Backup/
Server 2 (Proxy1) and Server 3 (Proxy2) has two log file folder with over 10 GB used space. Is it possible to change the settings related the veeam b&r logfiles?
The Settings in the KB Article 1825 https://www.veeam.com/kb1825 are done on my Server 1 with the Backup & Replication Software. Is it useful to do the same on both Proxy Servers? Or is another solution available to change the logging settings on the proxys?

Thanks a lot and many regards,
Florian

Hi Florian,

First: Welcome to the forums!

After the changes, I assume you have restarted the server? Did you also restart the proxy servers?

Have a look at best practices around logging on your Veeam Backup Server here: https://bp.veeam.expert/resource_planni ... izing.html

I am not 100 percent sure that these registry settings need to be applied at the proxy servers also (I thought the registry key needed to be done on the Veeam B&R server alone...)

Hi Mike,

thank you for Welcome and your Post.

Yes we restarted all servers after the changes.
For example: Registry Key MaxLogCount(10) is working on the Server 1 with the Backup and Replication Software, but not on the both proxys. There is a Backup Job folder with 171 log items.

Many regards,
Florian

Since I am not sure, and adding that registry to the Veeam Proxy server might break something (and we don't want that ) it might be best to create a support call and ask about the possibility and if this will solve your case. Please update this thread with the support case ID and the answer from support. I would like to know it also

Thanks
Mike

The same registry values should be specified on the proxy servers, if you want them to take effect there.

Thanks Foggy! Appreciate it

Hi,

I know this is a old tread, but the solution doesn't fit to a Linux proxy. It doesn't have a "/etc/VeeamAgentConfig".
Any one who knows how limit the logs ?

In order to change default values you need to:

- be on 10a
- create the file with the corresponding settings manually

Thanks!

Thanks Vladimir,

I can't seem to find an example on the format inside the file. Can you help with that ?

[veremin]

Just create a file by the path /etc/VeeamAgentConfig with the content similar to the following:

Code: Select all

AgentMaxLogSize=2048000 #maximumsizeinbytes

Thanks!
