Maintain LOG files - ODBC connection in Tableau to Snowflake

Question

We are using Tableau and we are connecting to Snowflake via Tableau SF connector. We can check LOG parameters in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Snowflake\Driver.

We have a problem, how to maintain the log file.

• Are there any parameters that we can control max log file size (maxFileSize) and max retention log files rolling (maxBackupIndex)?
• What is the proper way to clean the log file?

We have checked the following links, but we cannot find answers (we can change logLevel)

• https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/odbc-parameters.html#setting-parameters-in-windows
• https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/odbc-parameters.html#configuration-parameters

Answer 1

The improvements for ODBC log settings have been added to version 2.23.2

Unfortunately they aren't yet reflected properly in the ODBC configuration parameters documentation, but as of 2.23.2 there 2 extra parameters besides LogLevel and LogPath:

LogFileSize

LogFileCount
