The Settings Log Usage page gives you insight into the log directory and data storage.

  1. This is your total Log Size (of all components combined) and the location of your logs.

You can physically examine how Iguana stores the log files. In Mac OS X:

  • Copy the location

  • Open the Finder application

  • Use the Shift + ⌘ + G to open a window which you can copy & paste the logs location into:

In this way you can see how Iguana stores the logs for each component:

In Windows:

C:\ProgramData\IguanaX\logt\

Each component has its own directory.

Each directory represents hexadecimal digits in Unix epoch time. Unix epoch time is the number of seconds since January 1st 1970. The structure of logs is design to facilitate fast random access to the data and makes it fast to dequeue and search the log data. For more details, see how the log directory is structured.

  1. See how much space remains on your disk.

  2. This table is a comprehensive list of all components and their log sizes.

  3. Click the trash symbol to delete the log.

You can choose to get rid of test channel data or ‘chatty’ interfaces, while keeping important production data for decades.

Click Delete to have the logs of the component deleted.
