Remove the audit log entries

Clear entries from your audit log file from time to time to keep the size of the log file from becoming unmanageable. Either clear the entire log file or remove specific log types and entries for specific periods.

  1. On the Administration menu, click Remove Audit Log Entries.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select From Specific Period and use the calendars to select From and To dates.

    • Select Remove All to remove all audit log entries.

  3. On the Audit Log Types list, select the type of audit log to remove.
    Note If you do not select an audit log type, all logs for the specified period are deleted.
  4. Click Remove.
  5. Click Yes to confirm the removal.

    A message indicates whether the log entries were removed.

    Note If a service account does not have database owner or sysadmin rights, permission is denied to clear the audit log entries.
