Hello,

Is there a mechanism in place to clean up the server's API logs at a defined interval?

We currently have 1,904,880 logs since December 13, 2023 (which is starting to be a lot).

Thank you for your feedback,

Rémy

Hello Rémy,
No, indeed, there's no automatic purge other than deleting everything via the console interface, which is perhaps a bit too drastic

Until a better solution is found, the SQL query is the solution

Purge of everything older than one year:

Code: Select all

delete from logsapi l where l.created_on < current_date - 365;
(In WAPT 2.7, there is an index on this created_on field)
But in version 2.6, it can be added manually:

Code: Select all

CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS logsapi_created_on ON LogsAPI USING btree(created_on, endpoint);
)

I'm going to add a daily automatic purge task to run 365 days by default in version 2.7
