Re: [Quickfix-users] Log files are getting too big...

Well, all of the log files per se never get cleaned out automatically.  
What you are seeing get cleaned out are the storage files, which are 
used for persisting state.  The logs are there for a historical record, 
so QuickFIX does not presume to know how long you would like to keep them.

QuickFIX currently never truncates these files.  You could implement 
your own store which would do this.  We could add a clear() method to 
the log interface that would allow you to clear these out at the 
developers discretion.
