Is it safe to delete rewrite* files in /var/log?

Hello njseq

"The BIG-IP® system publishes logs for portal access traffic and for connections to virtual desktops (VDI) to the /var/log/rewrite* files. APM® cannot publish these logs to remote destinations."

>> Those log files are local, so you can remove them or move them to a different log server.

/var/log/rewrite<x>.log

"The rewrite log contains events from the rewrite profile. The <x> indicates the CPU instance that logged the rewrite info."

>> Regarding the high volume of logging, I suspect that you are logging with a 'debug' level. I would check if vdi is in debug mode.

tmsh list /sys db log.vdi.level
