Clear logs from Admin panel

[techworld 3]

Hi guys,

 

Can you guys implement an option that we, admin, can clear the logs such as activities from the Admin Dashboard?

I would like to clear out some logs sometimes.

 

Thanks.

Hi, it's a good idea yes.

Agreed, would be very useful.

Hi, it's a good idea yes.

Was this ever implemented? Could really use this now, my Logs page loads super super slow due to issue in: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/75357-issues-with-transcoding-hevc-on-some-clients-recently/

No, but we already clear log files older than three days old so the list shouldn't be too long I wouldn't think. Thanks.

Ok, great, the log will clear up in a couple days then.

I know this thread is a bit old but a feature like this should of already been implemented. I currently have 29 log files. I can see holding on to 3 of each type of log but not 29 between the 2 types.

Log files older than three days old are automatically deleted. Yes I suppose a button might be nice, but the current mechanism provides sufficient cleanup for the vast majority of users I would think.

It depends on what your server is doing to have 29 files.  If I process 100 episodes then I can expect 100 image extraction logs for that day.  If there are 10 items transcoded one day then there are 10 files.

So number of logs in your log folder will be dependent on your server activity.

And can be tweaked if it that much of a issue.  But as mentioned you could have hundreds of logs pending on your server activity and I believe set logging level (debug).

Hi, not yet, but your log files that are older than three days are getting cleared automatically, right?
