The log file accumulates information and can become difficult to navigate. We recommends that you periodically purge log records to conserve space.

The ReportCaster administrator configures the number of days in which the log files will automatically be purged. To find out how long your log reports will be available, see your ReportCaster administrator.

You can purge the log file in one of two ways:

• Purge log file information for specific schedules. Select one or more schedules and then click Purge.

  The Purge Log dialog box opens with the Selected Schedules option selected, as shown in the following image.

  

  To switch from purging the selected schedule(s) to purging all schedules, uncheck the Selected Schedule check box.

• Purge log file information for all schedules. Without selecting a schedule, click Purge.

  The Purge Log dialog box opens with the Delete Items through option selected, as shown in the following image. The Selected Schedule option is not available in this instance.

  

Selecting the Delete items through option activates the End Date field, where you can specify the date through which you want to purge the log records. The default value for the End Date is the current date. To change the End Date, click the calendar to the right of the End Date field.

A calendar window opens, as shown in the following image. Select the month and year of the End Date using forward and back arrows, and a day by clicking a day on the calendar.

Click OK to purge the log file, or click Cancel to cancel the purge request.

Note: The deletion of log files is immediate. To verify that the specified log files have been deleted, you can run a log report again to note the new log output.
