Remove-CsClsConfiguration
Removes one or more collections of centralized logging configuration settings. Centralized logging provides a way for administrators to simultaneously enable or disable event tracing on multiple computers. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2013.
Syntax
Remove-CsClsConfiguration
[-Identity] <XdsIdentity>
[-Confirm]
[-Force]
[-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The centralized logging service (which replaces the OCSLogger and OCSTracer tools used in Microsoft Lync Server 2010) provides a way for administrators to manage logging and tracing for all computers and pools running Skype for Business Server.
Centralized logging enables administrators to stop, start and configure logging for one or more pools and computers by using a single command; for example, you can use one command to enable Address Book service logging on all your Address Book servers.
This differs from the OCSLogger and OCSTracer tools, which had to be individually managed (including individually stopped and started) on each server.
In addition, the centralized logging service also provides a way for administrators to search trace logs from the command, using the Windows PowerShell command-line interface and the Search-CsClsLogging cmdlet.
Centralized logging is built around a series of predefined scenarios that offer a more finely-targeted approach to logging than offered in previous versions of Skype for Business Server. These scenarios predetermine the server components and logging for you; as a result, an administrator enabling the RGS scenario can be confident that he or she will only log information relevant to the Response Group service and not to, say, the audio conferencing provider service.
It is also possible to define custom scenarios by using the New-CsClsScenario cmdlet.
Centralized logging is managed by using collections of centralized logging service configuration settings.
When you install Skype for Business Server, you install a global set of these configuration settings; in addition, administrators can add custom settings collections at the site scope.
Later on, these site-scoped settings can be removed by using the Remove-CsClsConfiguration cmdlet.
Note that this cmdlet can also be run against the global settings collection.
In that case, however, the collection will not be removed.
Instead, all the properties in the collection will be reset to their default values.
Skype for Business Server Control Panel: The functions carried out by the Remove-CsClsConfiguration cmdlet are not available in the Skype for Business Server Control Panel.
Examples
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
Remove-CsClsConfiguration -Identity "site:Redmond"The command shown in Example 1 removes the centralized logging configuration settings applied to the Redmond site.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
Get-CsClsConfiguration -Filter "site:*" | Remove-CsClsConfigurationIn Example 2, all the centralized logging configuration settings applied to the site scope are removed.
To do this, the command first calls the Get-CsClsConfiguration cmdlet along the with Filter parameter; the filter value "site:*" limits the returned data to settings configured at the site scope.
Those settings are then piped to, and removed by, the Remove-CsClsConfiguration cmdlet.
-------------------------- Example 3 --------------------------
Get-CsClsConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.EtlFileRolloverSizeMB -gt 20} | Remove-CsClsConfigurationExample 3 deletes all the centralized logging configuration settings that allow for an ETL file larger than 20 megabytes.
To perform this task, the command first calls the Get-CsClsConfiguration cmdlet without any parameters; that returns a collection of all the centralized logging settings in use in the organization.
Those settings are then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which picks out only the settings where the EtlFileRollverSizeMB property is greater than (-gt) 20 megabytes.
Settings that meet that criterion are then piped to and delete by, the Remove-CsClsConfiguration cmdlet.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |

Suppresses the display of any non-fatal error message that might occur when running the command.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Lync Server 2013, Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019 |
-Identity
Unique identifier for the collection of centralized logging configuration settings you want to remove. To remove the global settings use this syntax:
-Identity "global"
Note that the global policy cannot actually be removed. Instead, all of the policy properties will be reset to their default values.
To remove a collection configured at the site scope, use syntax similar to this:
-Identity "site:Redmond"
Note that you cannot use wildcards when specifying an Identity.

| Applies to: | Lync Server 2013, Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019 |
-WhatIf
Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | wi |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |

Inputs
The Remove-CsClsConfiguration cmdlet accepts pipelined instances of the icrosoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.CentralizedLogging.CentralizedLoggingConfiguration object.
Outputs
None.
Instead, the Remove-CsClsConfiguration cmdlet deletes existing instances of the icrosoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.CentralizedLogging.CentralizedLoggingConfiguration object.
