We are using Autodesk Vault Professional 2026 including Vault Thin Client.
Vault currently provides a built-in Log File Configuration which automatically manages:
- Console Logs
- Server Logs
- File Store Logs
- Email Logs
- Audit Logs
However, the following log types are currently not affected by this configuration:
- restapilog-*
- VGLog-*
- VaultConnectorLog-*
According to Autodesk Support, there is currently no native setting to limit the retention or automatically delete these log files.
As a result, Vault administrators must implement their own Windows Scheduled Tasks or custom scripts to manage these logs, while other Vault log types are already handled by the built-in configuration.
Requested EnhancementPlease extend the existing Log File Configuration so that:
- restapilog-* files are included in the cleanup process.
- VGLog-* files are included in the cleanup process.
- VaultConnectorLog-* files are included in the cleanup process.
- Alternatively, provide separate retention settings for these log types.
Benefits- Consistent log management across all Vault-generated logs.
- Reduced administrative effort.
- No need for custom cleanup scripts.
- Prevention of unnecessary disk space consumption.
- Better support for environments using Thin Client, Vault Gateway and Vault Connector.
Current WorkaroundCurrently administrators must create their own scheduled cleanup tasks to remove old REST API, Vault Gateway and Vault Connector log files, while all other major Vault log types can already be managed through the built-in Vault configuration.
Vault administrators should not need custom scripts for some Vault log types while other Vault log types are already managed by the built-in Log File Configuration.
