Hi Mohamamd ,

 Reason for this error :
Exchange Diagnostic service logs an error message when DailyPerformanceLogs folder reaches the value described in MaxSize as in below file located on C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\bin\:
Microsoft.Exchange.Diagnostics.Service.exe.config

Resolution:
-


Temporary Solution :

Open below file in notepad:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\bin\Microsoft.Exchange.Diagnostics.Service.exe.config

Change the LogDataLoss = False under the DailyPerformanceLogs section to suppress this error.

Save the file and the restart to Microsoft Exchange Diagnostics service to force it to read in the configuration file and all should be well.


Permanent Solution :
Change the path to the drive  where the log files get saved  and the disk holds sufficient space for storing these logs.

Hi,

In the X:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server \V15\Logging\Diagnostics\DailyPerformanceLogs folder, you will find files named ExchangeDiagnosticsDailyPerformanceLog_MMDDHHMM.blg. These files are used by Managed Availability framework (which runs as the Microsoft Exchange Health Management service) to track the health of system components in Exchange. And they are generated automatically and take up disk space.

You can control how much data is stored in the daily performance logs by editing the Microsoft.Exchange.Diagnostics.Service.exe.config file, as what Sathish suggestioned above.

You may find the following:

<add Name="DailyPerformanceLogs" LogDataLoss="True" MaxSize="5120" MaxSizeDatacenter="2048" MaxAge="7.00:00:00" CheckInterval="08:00:00" />

You can change the value of LogDataLoss to "False" or increase the MaxSize and MaxAge values to higher if you have the space.
