Здравствуйте,

два сервера Exchange 2016 в DAG.

выставил настройки:

Name                               : MAIL01
MessageTrackingLogEnabled          : True
MessageTrackingLogPath             : d:\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking
MessageTrackingLogMaxFileSize      : 15 MB (15,728,640 bytes)
MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize : 8 GB (8,589,934,592 bytes)
MessageTrackingLogMaxAge           : 30.00:00:00

Name                               : MAIL02
MessageTrackingLogEnabled          : True
MessageTrackingLogPath             : d:\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking
MessageTrackingLogMaxFileSize      : 15 MB (15,728,640 bytes)
MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize : 8 GB (8,589,934,592 bytes)
MessageTrackingLogMaxAge           : 30.00:00:00

но папка с логами занимает всего 500 Мб, там логи за один день, подскажите в чем может быть проблема ?

Answer 1

I would first verify the effective Message Tracking configuration on both Exchange servers and compare the values side by side.

For example:

Get-TransportService | fl Name,MessageTrackingLogPath,MessageTrackingLogMaxAge,MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize,MessageTrackingLogMaxFileSize

In a multi-server environment, I would also review the other transport log paths to make sure the logging configuration is consistent across the Exchange servers.

I recently published ExchangeLogPathManager.ps1 on GitHub for this purpose. The script can review supported transport log paths across multiple Exchange servers, compare source and target servers, preview proposed changes, apply supported path changes, and verify the resulting configuration.

Answer 2

Hi

Here is an example which changes all paramenters at once:
Set-TransportService Mailbox_Server -MessageTrackingLogEnabled $true -MessageTrackingLogPath “M:\logs” -MessageTrackingLogMaxFileSize 30MB -MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize 2.5GB -MessageTrackingLogMaxAge 365.00:00:00

The cmdlet above turns on message tracking for Mailbox_Server and sets the log storage to M:\logs. Size limit for a single log file is changed to 30 MB. It is mostly a cosmetic change, which controls the number of log files – the greater the limit, the less csv are created every day. The max directory size (before the oldest files are overwritten) is set to 2.5GB, and the log files are kept for 365 days.
Setting the –MessageTrackingLogMaxAge to 00:00:00 will let you keep message tracking logs for an indefinite period.
