    Hi,

    Is there any settings in cPanel to delete the subject line log after it has been rotated after a certain amount of day?

    Thanks
    Frank

    Hello,

    No, It's not possible to delete automatically any particular line from /var/log/messages/ file

    Hello :)

    There are no cPanel options to rotate the /var/log/messages file. However, you can install/configure LogWatch to rotate this file for you. I am not aware of of any settings that will only remove certain parts of the log entries, but you can configure the log itself to be rotated.

    Thank you.
