The batch job command¶

Akeneo PIM provides a simple command to purge events API logs:

1bin/console akeneo:connectivity-connection:purge-events-api-logs

This purge command removes the info and notice level events API logs to keep only the 100 last and removes the warning and error logs older than 72h.

To run a command periodically, you can use a cron:

First, you need to install it (example in debian/ubuntu based distributions):

1apt-get install cron

Then, you can edit your crontab:

1crontab -e

You can now add a new line at the end of the opened file:

0 * * * * /home/akeneo/pim/bin/console akeneo:connectivity-connection:purge-events-api-logs --env=prod

With this cron configuration a purge of events API logs, will be launched each hour.
