How to clean history?

[lupin3rd]

Hi, i have a lot of script that run scheduled and then i have a very big history in home page... then my history run very slow...
How can i clean the history entry after some days?

I think that history page pagination can solve all problems...

Hi @lupin3rd unfortunately there is no automated solution here
On a demo website, i just delete log files every month, which were modified more than 5 days ago

Thank you for the quickly reply :-)
A simple pagination in the UI can be a good solution.

The problem is not that easy to solve, unfortunately. Thle pagination in the UI can be a good solution.e log page is based on log files, i.e. script server has to parse each file anyways, in order to recognize to which page it belongs. I guess this is the main performance bottleneck
And it will become even more critical, when adding a server-side search functionality

A pagination based on day ?

create this file /etc/logrotate.d/scriptserver with this content:

# adjust path and rotation days
# if you want to keep logs forever leave 36500 for 100 years of logs
/opt/script-server/logs/processes/*.log
{
    missingok
    daily
    rotate 36500
    compress
}

there's a lot more options you can setup for logrotate, just take a look at docs if you have other requirements.
