Deleting Logs from the Database
Over time, the JAMF Software Server (JSS) accumulates a large number of logs. Deleting these logs can
reduce the size of the database and can speed up searches.
You can schedule log deletion to take place automatically or manually delete logs as needed.
To schedule automatic log deletion:
1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Click the Flush Database Logs link.
4. Use the pop-up menus to specify the period of time after which logs will be deleted.
For example, to delete Policy logs that are six months old or older, choose “Six Months” from the pop-up
menu next to Policy Logs.
To stop deleting a type of log, choose “Do not delete” from the pop-up menu next to it.
5. Use the Time of Day pop-up menu to schedule a time for the deletion.
For example, to delete logs every morning at 2 a.m., choose “2 AM” from the pop-up menu.
6. Click Save.
7. Click Continue to confirm the schedule.
To delete logs manually:
1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Click the Flush Database Logs link.
