Delete Audit Log Entries

The ability to configure an automatic archival and deletion of audit records in the database is available in FileCloud Server version 11.0 and later.

Admin Audit Log Deletion

Beginning with version 19.3, admins can now prohibit other admins from deleting audit logs.


If you need to you can remove entries from the log file manually or configure an automatic archival and deletion of log entries.

It is important to keep in mind that removing log entries from the Admin dashboard also removes them from the database. However, MongoDB does not release the space but keeps it for new entries to be added in the future. 

Some reports, such as reports on file actions and failed logins, get their data from the audit log. These reports only include events that are in the audit logs when you run the report. See Custom Reports for information about specific reports
