 Hi,

I know if you add a button -Delete- to Security Exceptions Log I can delete it, but I want to ask about deleting security logs.

I have a lot of if. Should I delete it all, leave some? What do you think?

Regards

You don't need to keep all of the log entries. In fact, the System - Admin Tools plugin has a feature which lets Admin Tools automatically prune old records. Just go to Extensions, Plugins and edit the System – Admin Tools plugin. Change the "Maximum security exceptions log entries" to 1000 and click on Save & Close. Over the next day Admin Tools will start deleting its old security exception log entries until it maintains about 1000 records.

Please note that the actual number of records will be a bit higher because there are new security exceptions coming in between the automatic pruning runs. The automatic pruning doesn't run on every request for site performance reasons.
