How to delete specific row records from Settings History in Synology DSM?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to clean up the Settings History / Log history inside my Synology DSM, specifically the warning/error entries. Right now, I can see the logs in DSM, but I only want to remove certain rows/records instead of clearing everything.

What I want to achieve:
  • Delete only selected warning entries
  • Preferably without wiping the entire history

Hello, you can only export all existing messages; otherwise, Synology DSM is the wrong platform. Synology doesn't even provide a backup function or HA-transfer. Furthermore, the data is lost if the system partition is lost too, or if you switch to a different model.

Bash:
# clean up after an export of log messages

# delete log archives
# run as root
find / -name "*.log.*.xz" | xargs -P 3 rm

# delete all log files
# run as root
find / -name "*.log" | xargs -P 3 rm
