Reduce log file size

Configuration Z-Wave

My ozw-log file is growing and growing!
Now it’s at 233 MB.
Is there a way to reduce the logging, or maybe to rotate it, so that it only logs the last 2 days or something?

you want to playing in the recorder:

here this should point down the right path

You can disable zwave logging altogether by setting:
<Option name="logging" value="false"/>
in options.xml

Does this affect the ozw-log? I though it was only home-assistant values/timeseries?

Ok. That helps, of course, but is there no way to reduce the amout of stuff in the log?

6

Yes.
See https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/wiki/Config-Options
You can set e.g. SaveLogLevel to 3.
(You can always simply delete the logfile. A new one will be created.)

Add these to options.xml and restart. If they exist just modify the values to match. Will drastically reduce the log level.

  <Option name="logging" value="true" />
  <Option name="SaveLogLevel" value="4" /><!-- added -->
  <Option name="QueueLogLevel" value="4" /><!-- added -->

Thank you @NitramusPliwus and @jwelter! I set SaveLogLevel and QueueLogLevel to 3, and it works just fine.
