Universal Media Server | Forum

Hi all, long time user (came over from PS3MS) first time complainer...

My UMS Setup:
Current UMS Version: 5.0.1 Java8
Current Java: J8U40
Running as a Windows service on a headless Windows Server 2012

UMS has been running great and I've had no complaints until I went in to my server for some monthly maintenance and discovered UMS had consumed over 16gb in log files. I updated UMS and Java but the problem persists and is currently gobbling up about 1gb per day in new log files. I've tried fiddling with some settings but nothing is helping.

It appears that once the log file reaches 1mb it creates a new one all located at \Universal Media Server\win32\service\. I've attached one of the files and they're all filled with the same. I'm unsure why UMS is having SSL issues since I never use the web portion of the program. But then what I know of Java coding could fit in a thimble.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

You could try turning down/off the level of logging by editing the file wrapper.conf located in the Universal Media Server/win32/service folder.

Look for entries such as
wrapper.console.loglevel=
wrapper.logfile.loglevel=
wrapper.syslog.loglevel=

Set each of those lines to:
wrapper.console.loglevel=NONE
wrapper.logfile.loglevel=NONE
wrapper.syslog.loglevel=NONE

Save the config, you may also need to restart your machine to get the settings to take effect.

Good enough for me. Thank ye kindly
