Purge Event Log

Purge Event Log

You can purge outdated records from the Event Log by entering the number of days to keep the entries and then clicking Purge.

The displayed fields aid you in purging Event Log entries as follows:

  • Current Count — Read-only field displaying the total number of Event Log entries that are now in the persistent store for this production. Use the Current Count to decide whether or not it is worthwhile to purge the Event Log at this time.

  • Do Not Purge Most Recent — Parameter for the purge operation. It tells InterSystems IRIS how many days’ worth of Event Log entries to keep. The default value is 7, which keeps entries for the last seven days. If you want to purge all entries in the log, enter 0 in the Days field.

    The count of days includes today, so keeping messages for 1 day keeps the messages generated on the current day, according to local server time.

When you click Purge, InterSystems IRIS immediately starts to purge the Event Log according to the parameters you have entered.

Caution:

You cannot undo the Purge operation.

Note:

You can also purge Event Log data from the Purge Management Data page and schedule purges using the Ens.Util.Tasks.PurgeOpens in a new tab task. For more information, see Purging Data.
