Purge Logs

To conserve file space, you can delete the entire Activity log file or unnecessary log records older than a specific time period.

To delete files in the Activity log:

1. Click the Delete option button.
2. Select the criteria you want to apply in the Purge dialog box. Click the Entire Log option if you want to eliminate all log file records since inception. Choose the Partial option if you want to select a specific time period for deleted files. Using the down- arrows, you can choose the age criteria for a partial log file purge.

   Note: You can only choose either the entire log or a partial file purge option.

3. Click OK.

The log purge transaction displays in the Activity log after the files are deleted.

You can also use the command line interface to purge job logs (or any other log file) from the Activity log. Use the ca_log -purge command to delete logs older than a specified period of time from any log file. You can also use the ca_log -clear command if you want to delete all log data from log files with no specified time period.
