McLogCleaner automatically deletes all .log.gz files and crash reports from the server’s logs folder.

Note: latest.log will always remain intact and is never deleted.

Setup

You install the latest version of McLogCleaner via the Pelican Hub.

If you want to install McLogCleaner manually, you can download the latest release directly.

To use this plugin, add mclogcleaner as a feature to the egg you want to run it with.

Log Deletion Options

When you click Delete logs, a dropdown menu appears where you can choose the minimum age (in days) of log files to delete:

• Logs older than 7 days
• Logs older than 30 days
• All logs (regardless of age)
• A custom age in days

Command usage

This command allows server administrators to clean up old log files and crash reports directly from the terminal or via scheduled tasks (cronjobs).

php artisan mclogcleaner:clean {server_uuid} [--days=7] [--logs] [--crashes] [--dry-run]
