Paul,
Most folks here would recommend you keep logging enabled, in case you have a
security incident.
That said, if you open the ISA Management snap-in, and drill into Monitoring
Configuration,
you can specify that the saved logs, and summaries are limited to X number
of files.
Perhaps that has been turned off or set too high, otherwise the accumulation
should not have
that great an impact on disk space. There is an option to compress the
files as well.
For example - I've been keeping logs all year long, and compressed size on
disk is about 1.3gb.
If I only kept a month at a time, it wouldn't amount to squat.
Give those settings a look, then do what you need. You can turn them off
there too.
