Delete the usermanager log.

RouterOS The User Manager
1

Howdy,

Is there a way to remove/delete the usermanager log?

I have a usermanager log of over 330,000 items, mainly authentication failures generated pre-2.9.30 before the logging options became available.

I noticed that when i open the log in usermanager that my routers CPU utilisation goes to 100% for several seconds. Resorting the log also causes several seconds of 100% router CPU utilisataion.

Regards…ƒil

Hi Allac,

Thanks so much, your script has removed all my logs. It did take about 45 minutes at ~90% processor…i was worried that it would never finish.

Thanks again mate.

I tried running this script manually - but nothing happened apart from maxing out the CPU for 2-3 minutes.

The script worked perfectly for me.

I only pasted the script in and ran it manually. In winbox, system->scripts create new, paste in the script. Highlight and click run script button.

It created a (250MB) log file in the root directory of my usermanager router. The complete 330,000 item usermanager log was removed.
I didn’t even bother to have a look at what the log file contained, I just deleted it.
