The syslog-ng Administrator Guide

The application maintenance option can be used to purge information from the internal diagnostic logs, historical information, and to re-organize any physical files used by the syslog-ng Agent for IBM System i application. From the main menu select Application Maintenance, then option 1 to run maintenance. The following panel is displayed:

Figure 6.7. Application maintenance

Enter the date in YYYYMMDD format into the Retain history after date field to indicate the retention date. Log and historical information more recent than this date will be retained, older data will be deleted. All physical files will be re-organized. Note that you should run this option when the Alliance subsystem ALLSYL100 is not active.

To clear Alliance diagnostic log information manually, issue the following command:

clrpfm file(allsyl100/alloga)

	Note
	This command only clears the internal Alliance logs and does not delete any syslog information.
