By default SharePoint stores it’s usage logs in

_**C:Program Files Common Files Microsoft Shared Web Server Extensions14LOGS**_

but if a server doesn’t have a large C: drive then it is easy to change the location
to a larger drive.  Here is how:

1. Log in to _Central Administration_

2. In the _Monitoring_ section click on **Configure usage and health data collection**

3. Change the path for the logs and the maximum size and then click **OK**

[⌊SharePoint Log File Default Location⌉⌊SharePoint Log File Default Location⌉[

SharePoint Log File Default Location

The change takes immediate effect, no services need to be restarted.

Note: the specified location must exist on all servers in the farm
