Hi,

Power BI Report Server january 2021 (latest version).

In the RSHostingService_2021_04_30_00_00_05.log, I can see the same error each minute :

"2021-04-30 13:54:16.3798|WARN|55|Exception deleting expired log fileSystem.IO.IOException: Le processus ne peut pas accéder au fichier 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\LogFiles\msmdsrv.log', car il est en cours d'utilisation par un autre processus.

"

How to slove this issue?

Did you try to restart your PBIRS service? Also let us know if PBIRS working fine or not?

Hi dpFr33 ,

Please check if the previous version ( October 2020 ) could work if the methods above don't work.

Best Regards,
