If JIRA is running as service in windows, stdout_*.log and stderr_*.log will be created, and over time, these files are rapidly growing and become large.

To change the stdout_.log and stderr_.log location such as D drive.

  1. Uninstall the jira service.
  2. Open service.bat with editor and find the parameter below:
    set PR_LOGPATH=%CATALINA_BASE%\logs
    set PR_STDOUTPUT=auto
    set PR_STDERROR=auto
  3. change set PR_LOGPATH=%CATALINA_BASE%\logs to any location you wish such as set PR_LOGPATH=D:\logs
  4. Run service.bat install JIRA_SERVICE_NAME to install JIRA as service again.
