How do you change the location of application log files on Orion Server?

Between the application log files in C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs and the IIS logs in C:\inetpub\logs , the C: drive for our Solarwinds Orion server fills up periodically( currently 1GB free out of 50GB total ) while the data drive ( ) on the system has 100GB of free space.

I think that I can figure out how to configure IIS to store it's log files on the drive, but I don't know how/if that can be done for the Orion server application. I'd like to move them to either "D:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs" or another location on the drive.

In a related question, what is the retention for application log files and where is it configured?

There are at least 2 feature requests in to have the ability to relocate the log files off C:

I suggest you vote on both requests. SolarWinds will act on features that have high vote counts. Right guys?

I found the logadjuster.exe file, all of the module logs files are set to "debug" mode. When I click on "set to default" in the tool, nothing changes. I think someone was troubleshooting the app, set the log files to "debug" level logging, and then accidentally clicked "set as default" button.

1) what is the default log level?

2) how reset the set to default settings back to factory defaults?

3) Thank you for reading this far.

I ran the logadjuster.exe file as local admin, changed the "Orion" module logging ( checkbox next to the name was checked ) from DEBUG from INFO, clicked on "apply" and then closed/reopened logadjuster.

The setting is still set to debug. I cannot change the settings! Well, I can, but they don't stick. Any ideas?

I figured out my issue. The "sectional" logging level pull-down menus default to "debug". I was checking those instead of the individual log file settings. It was working as designed.
