Clear Windows Eventlogs | Log collection solutions

#1 Runsten 8 years ago

Hi!

I'm new to nxlog and try to find a way to clear the Windows eventlogs during or after read/export with nxlog.

I've browsed through the manual, but can't find out how, is there a way to do this with a nxlog module/command?

Regards,

Mikael

This is not possible, the windows eventlog api does not provide functions to delete eventlog records. Log retention can be only controlled externally by configuring the eventlog service.
