Contributed by Chris Arellano Cisco TAC Engineer.
Prerequisites
AsyncOS 15.0.0 and newer for Cloud Email Security and On-Premise Secure Email Appliance.
Components Used
Cisco SEG
CLI access method
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Configure
The next instructions present the new log functionality to delete individual log files within each SEG device.
Why? Some situations can warrant the need to purge sensitive content from the SEG.
Each Log Subscription is made up of a collection of individual files containing a date stamp for each file within the name, ending with the start of the next log containing a sequential date within the name.
The action can be perform on stand alone SEG as well as at Machine Level within a Cluster.
Step 1. Login via CLI and type the next commands logconfig > deletelogfile > Select the number representing the log subscription > Select the number representing the log > Y to confirm.
Note: The delete action is immediate, permanent and does not require the user to commit changes.
> logconfig
