Over 9GB of log files in the log folder of one of our "technology partners" X| now - request change in logging behavior or install bigger HD's? What's cheaper?

Yes, a common pattern. Log every totally uninteresting event, so that the real errors can't be found anymore. And if they are found, they provide little to no information which might give you a hint to what has happened. Who do they think wants to read that stuff? I had a program that sent a mail with 'An error has occured in application XXX'. No more. No error message, no stack trace, no parameters, no further information. When that thing had a bad day, it flooded your mailbox with those messages.
And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
"Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"And I smiled and was happy
And it came worse. -

In a previous job, we had a pretty good logging system. Every message had a location and severity level from 1 for crash bang to 9 for suicidal debug on nearly every step. The code monkeys were reasonably good at putting in logging at the right level. The clients were pretty bad at setting the logging to catch level 9 for all modules. Figuring they can always filter out the crap later.

Wow... you can always delete the files... can you disable the logging?

Over 9GB of log fileS? Seems like you did a pretty good job. We got a xml log file that's 9GB. Opening it instantly crashes the server :) And seeing what my company logs in other applications I suspect it's 9GB full of crap that wouldn't help any programmer to fix any bug :sigh:
