Max storage space for trace logs SharePoint On Premise

Question

In the diagnostic logging section of the SP CA settings, you have an option to choose the maximum storage space of the trace logs. So, I was wondering if that storage space is a summary for all SP servers or its space for each server individually. I was trying to find a good explanation for it, but I was not able to, if you have such a documentation where that is explained, can you please share it, thanks.

Answer 1

I couldn’t find any document for this statement, but here’s what I found from testing:

1. The setting for Maximum storage space for Trace Logs is farm scoped. Also when we change this setting using Set-SPDiagnosticConfig -LogDiskSpaceUsageGB 500, it changes the value on the farm.

2. The number of Maximum storage space for Trace Logs is server specific, not a summary for all SP servers.

   This is the result for two servers when I set the number to 8:
