How to clear out the extended logs and free up disk space

1. Use the API command. The command to clear extended logs is https://<LoadMasterIPAddress>/access/logging/clearextlogs. For full details on this command, and on our API in general, please click here.

3. Prevent the logs from being recorded on the LoadMaster in the first place. To do this, navigate to System Configuration > Logging Options > Extended Log Files> check the box labeled Disable Local Extended ESP Logs. For this to work effectively, navigate to the Syslog Options tab and ensure you have at least one Syslog server configured set for the Informational syslog Level.
