Question

Hi,

I need remove just some types of logs, like SSH for example.
I saw here in forum, how remove all logs (rm log.db).

But in my case I want remove just a type of logs.

Can you help please.

Hi Jolive88

The log.db file is locked to prevent removing and corrupting the entries from the database. However, you could display the table content by downloading a package called: sqlite3-cli and filtering the data you don't want to show (some SQL database manipulation is needed). Another workaround is executing the command:  logread | sed -e {pattern}. Using the sed command syntax, you could hide  the lines from the logread output you want to omit.

I hope this helps to solve your query.

Regards.
