Windows log spam from CE dedicated server

Basic Info:

Platform: Windows 10/11
Issue Type: Other
Game Mode: Any
Server Type: Any
Map: Any
Server Name: Any
Mods: None


Bug Description:

Has been reported before:
Windows Event Viewer log spam
Conan Server Still Spams Windows Event Viewer on Startup
CE seems to be spamming Windows Event Log
Etc.
But I see no change, in fact it has gotten even worse because the amount of errors and warnings that CE server throws out has only grown with the last two chapters, so it’s completely obliterating the Windows logs now, like easily 20-30 lines of garbage per second are sent to the log, even on a perfectly functional vanilla server with only one player, idling - not to mention when you run a purge. At this point, it’s very likely a measurable performance impact, and it should be trivial to fix. Only workaround for users is to disable log entries in the engine.ini file, which is obviously not helpful for troubleshooting issues later.


Bug Reproduction:

Run the conan exiles dedicated server executable… and watch the application tab in Windows Event Viewer. Like this:

I can confirm this process on a Windows Server 2019 Standard with three running Conan servers.
