TheTOM_SK Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Hi, I would like to disable all logging to gain some performance.So far I have disabled services like Event Log and WMI logging:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM]"Logging"="0"But there are still log files creating with extensions: evm, etl and log:C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.app.log 516.48 kBytesC:\Windows\System32\config\system.LOG1 256.00 kBytesC:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Scm\SCM.EVM 128.00 kBytesC:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Scm\SCM.EVM.1 192.00 kBytes C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Scm\SCM.EVM.2 160.00 kBytesC:\Windows\System32\WDI\LogFiles\BootCKCL.etl 7 7.25 MBC:\Windows\System32\WDI\LogFiles\ShutdownCKCL.etl C:\Windows\System32\WDI\LogFiles\WdiContextLog.etl.001 C:\Windows\System32\WDI\LogFiles\WdiContextLog.etl.002C:\Windows\System32\WDI\LogFiles\WdiContextLog.etl.003 Edited January 21, 2007 by TheTOM_SK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Departed Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) Bumping an old topic, as I'd like to know how also.Pardon if it's already been covered, been trying to search for it but having no luck.Performance gain would be nice, but it's not what I'm after. The files stay locked on my drive, some unable to be defragmented, or moved at all for that matter, and it's really impeding my defragmentation routine which is too long to bother explaining, so pardon my bluntness.

Departed Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 No one knows? D:I guess I'll resort to failing google searches again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 You do realize that logs are still being generated when you disable services and logging, but just not written to disk? This is akin to disabling perfmon counter objects - the data is still collected, but you just can't query it anymore.Oh, and if anything on your box requires writing to the event log in the future, you've just generated a system hang or bugcheck by disabling the event log service. Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
