GLPI log rotation / cleanup in the database
There are at least three ways to clean old logs, and I’m having a hard time finding documentation to guide which one we use. All three are disabled currently:
Setup -> General -> Logs purge
Setup -> Automatic Actions -> circularlogs
"Archives log files and deletes aging ones"
Setup -> Automatic Actions -> logs
“Clean old logs”
Which is the best one to use?

Re: GLPI log rotation / cleanup in the database
From my tests, the Automatic action "circularlog" rotates the files at "<GLPI_ROOT>\files\_log" folder.

Re: GLPI log rotation / cleanup in the database
Hi
Task logs started to clear only after running this...
front/crontask.form.php?id=7
2023-07-10 I noticed that in automatic tasks I still have logs from last year. I ran this task (it was disabled and below the result)
Date Total duration Number Description
2023-07-10 17:16 1,261.500 seconds 2644712 Action completed, fully processed
There doesn't seem to be a single task to clean all logs identified as old. Different tasks can be responsible for different sections. Other places determine which logs are old (without clearing them). But I can be wrong. Here @cconard96 is the expert.

Re: GLPI log rotation / cleanup in the database
Summary of the log-related automatic actions:
1. circularlogs - Periodically rename the file-based GLPI logs (files/_log) by the current date. This keeps the individual file sizes low, makes it easier to find logs for a specific date, and makes automatically cleaning old log entries easier.
2. logs - Deals with the administration log (Administration > Log) which contains data like logins and some generic item was added/updated info. Deletes entries older than X days (configurable by the value inside the automatic action form). Also deals with logs for automatic actions themselves.
3. purgelogs - Delete historical log entries based on the criteria set in Setup > General > Logs Purge.
