Hi.  
I am using wowza 4.8.5 version.  
There were a lot of events in the Wowza that was running and a lot of logs were piled up, causing a problem. I want to limit the log to a certain size or less. What should I do?

You can comment out logs if you want to by going here:

If you us the search bar here in the forums and enter “disable logging” or “controlling logging”, you will see this has been asked and answered before:

Controlling log appenders and log levels can be a good way to deal with this. Also consider log rolling to avoid getting one large file.
