Delete a log type
If you no longer need a log type, you can delete it from NXLog Platform. However, you can only delete a log type if it does not have associated data. Therefore, you must first delete all data of that type before the option to delete it becomes available. See Purge data for more information on deleting data.
Once you ensure that no data of that type exist in the database, follow the instructions below to delete the log type:
-
Navigate to Settings > Storage > Log types management.
-
Locate the log type you want to delete in the Log type settings table.
-
Click the Actions menu for the selected log type and choose Edit.
-
Click Delete in the Edit log retention panel to delete the log type.
| If NXLog Platform receives data of this type in the future, the system will automatically recreate the log type. |
