Purging Logs
The process of systematically deleting unwanted data from the database is called purging. Each time you perform a purge operation, the corresponding purging log entry is created and can be viewed in API Audit log page in the API Portal User Interface. For example, when you purge a certain set of analytics logs, the corresponding purging log entry is created and is displayed in the API Audit log page in the API Portal User Interface. You can purge logs by setting the required date or duration per tenant in the API Portal.
You can purge logs in one of the following ways:
* Purging logs by invoking a REST service
* Purging logs through the user interface
The purge service supports the following types of log entries:
*Audit logs - API audit logs
*Analytics - Page Views and other analytics data
*Approval - Objects of approved users
*Stale Users - Users who have not been activated through the email confirmation workflow
*API analytics - Run-time analytics data for APIs
