Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

    Introduction

    This document describes whether you can purge DNS data in logs in Cisco Umbrella.

    Can I Purge the DNS Data in the Logs?

    Purging or clearing DNS data is currently not possible within Umbrella. Logging is either enabled or it is not, but there is no way to purge data from the Dashboard after it has been collected.

    Workaround


    You can choose to turn off logging completely, or disable Content logging, which shows Security-related information and Total Requests only. This is done on a policy-by-policy basis.
