Located in the /opt/pingidentity/dataengine/util directory, the purge script deletes logs older than the specified number of days. Run the script using the Dashboard command line.
NOTE: The number of days specified should be between 1-365 days.
For example.
/opt/pingidentity/dataengine/util/purge.sh -d 3 In the above example, purge.sh deletes all access log files older than 3 days. Here is sample output. /opt/pingidentity/dataengine/util/purge.sh -d 3 This will delete the data in /opt/pingidentity/dataengine/logs which is older than 3 days.

Force delete: You can force delete the Dashboard log files by using the -f option with the purge.sh script. When using this option, the script does not check for confirmation to purge the log files. Use the force purge option with the -d option to provide the number of days of logs to keep.
Example: The following snippet shows an example of the force purge and -d option.
/opt/pingidentity/dataengine/util/purge.sh -d 3 -f removing /opt/pingidentity/dataengine/logs/dataengine.log.2019-02-07 : last changed at Sat Feb 9 00:31:26 EST 2019 removing /opt/pingidentity/dataengine/logs/dataengine.log.2019-02-09 : last changed at Mon Feb 11 00:31:30 EST 2019 removing /opt/pingidentity/dataengine/logs/dataengine.log.2019-02-08 : last changed at Sun Feb 10 00:31:35 EST 2019 Done.
In the above example, the script force purges the Dashboard log files while keeping log files of 3-days.
External log archival
The purge script can also archive logs older than the specified number of days to secondary storage. Use the -l option and include the path of the secondary storage to archive log files. For example:
/opt/pingidentity/dataengine/util/purge.sh -d 3 -l /tmp/
In the above example, log files older than 3-days are archived to the tmp directory. To automate log archival, add the script to a cron job.
