Is there any possibility to size the logfile? My HDD space for logging is overflowing. It would be great to limit them by size or by the age.

Nice nickname! ;) There actually is, simply navigate to <your-prtg>/systemsetup.htm?tabid=4.
The retention for the monitoring database can be configured there. Or are we talking about PRTGs system logs located in C:\ProgramData\Paessler?

Thank you Stephan. That's exactly what I was looking for. I just didn't expect to find the log configurations in this menu
