This is a developer server. I've deleted these logs (all but one) and don't notice any difference.

These logs seems to pile up disk space...
What's the purpose of these logs and is it possible to stop this log service?

The logs are used to track the error/issue. If you really want to stop the logs, you can remove/comment the log file path in the odoo config file and restart the odoo service.

Ex:
# Comment followng line from the odoo conf file
logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

Hi,

Keeping log will be good for tracking issues. If the piling disk space are the issue, try to configure the log rotate so that the logs before a period will get automatically deleted from the system, which will not consume disk space then.


See: https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/i-want-odoo-not-to-delete-previously-generated-log-files-even-after-a-week-by-using-logrotate-in-configuration-file-162577


Thanks
