Hello,
I have a new Exchange 2013 server. There is a folder "c:\program files\microsoft\exchange server\v15\bin\search\ceres\diagnostics\etltraces" that seems to churn DocumentProcessingTrace_???.etl files constantly (where ??? is an incrementing number). There are always exactly 100 files that rotate (oldest deleted) and each file is about 52MB. At least 4 per hour, sometimes more.
My issue is that these take up a bunch of space on the OS disk, and it does a lot of data writes which fragment the filesystem and create a lot of change blocks for my backup system.
What is creating these files and what are they for? More importantly, can I disable or change its location?
Thanks.
