How does the BDNA_PUBLISH.BDNA_A_LOGGER view get purged. I have over 16 million rows in the view, going back over two years. I tried to run the User Console Support Tool and it hung on the first query:
Select * from BDNA_A_LOGGER WHERE message like '%ERROR%'

BDNA_A_LOGGER is an internal logging table used for troubleshooting and by default it is not purged.
However if this table is using up too much space on the database and a customer would like to truncate it - this is permitted and will not affect application functionality.
With every normalize run the BDNA_A_LOGGER table gets populated with latest logs.
We recommend taking a backup of this table prior to making any manual changes/deletion.
Options:
1. To truncate the entire table:
TRUNCATE TABLE BDNA_A_LOGGER;
2. To truncate based on event time stamp:
example : truncate everything that is older than current year = 2019
SELECT * FROM [BDNA_A_LOGGER] WHERE EVENT_TIMESTAMP < Convert(datetime,'2019-01-01');
--DELETE FROM [BDNA_A_LOGGER] WHERE EVENT_TIMESTAMP < Convert(datetime,'2019-01-01');
Validate results from select query and then uncomment out the delete statement to actually truncate the table for specified event timestamp.
Thank you @paul_meaders for your contributions on this one.
