Automatically Deleting Raw Log Files after your Web Statistics are Generated

Comprehensive raw log files are made available in the Logs folder for your website. These contain complete Web logs, FTP logs and Mail logs for your Web hosting package. The Log Files Manager in the Control Panel provides extremely flexible options to manage these raw log files.

Now, it is obvious that these log files consume a part of your web space. One method of optimizing your disk space would be to delete all web log files after you have generated your Web statistics reports. Follow the procedure mentioned below to do so:

  1. Login to your Control Panel, Search for the domain name for which you have purchased this Hosting Order and go to the Order Information view. 1

  2. Click the Manage Web Hosting link.

  3. In the Menu, point to Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager and then click Settings.

  4. Here, you would find the option to Purge Log Files. Selecting Yes from the drop-down adjacent to this option would delete all web log files once you have generated the requisite reports.

Note

In order to complete the action in case of Linux Hosting, the Web Server needs to be restarted. Random restarts affect other services running on the Server. In order to avoid this, the Server has been scheduled to restart at intervals of 20 minutes. Hence, the change might take upto 20 minutes to be effective.
