Tutorial: Turn Off Audit and Service Logging
This tutorial shows how to turn off Access Server's audit and service logging.
Overview
Access Server allows turning off audit and service logging. You can turn them off separately or together. When you turn off logging, it doesn't delete previous log files or the records in log.db, but no longer records new activity.
To completely turn off logging, you must apply both options below.
Important
If you choose to turn off logging, you will not have logs to refer to or send to support if you encounter issues.
