EFW Support

I am trying to get into the Endian machine to clear logs and such.. i can get into the command line interface but am lost from there.. Can anyone give me the code or commands to delete logs. When I enter the user name and password.. and then I was told to use /var/logs... but that did not go anywhere... can some one help me with code ??

If you only want to delete or edit files,  you have an easier alternative, connect to your server using WinSCP.
It works like an FTP, you can send/receive files, delete or edit them. All in explorer-like windows.

Anyways, from console you can do:

cd /var/log  (--> To change directory)
dir               (--> To view files)
dir *.gz        (--> This shows you only the old logs. If you delete these files you'll only see )
rm -Rf /var/log/*.gz        (--> Remove all past logs. Be warned, using incorrectly rm -Rf can result in loss of data and havok!!!! )

But the above is not a long term solution.
The firewall config page: https://your-efw:10443/cgi-bin/logs_config.cgi  Should let you choose the days stored on logs.
Another option is to change the logrotate config.
nano /etc/logrotate.conf  (--> To edit the logrotate options)
The third line says: "rotate 366"
These are the days stored on logs. If you only want 1 week of stored logs, you can change it to "rotate 7".
Once you are done, press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit. Restart and that's all

All these things can also be done  on WinSCP.
