Every log line the game server has ever sent to CRCON is definitely stored in the database.

That could represent hundreds of thousands lines if you're using CRCON since some time.

For example :
A "normal" 100 slots game server that runs with 95+ players during ~12 hours a day generates about 40,000 lines of logs each day.

Tip

Managing a huge database doesn't really impact CRCON's performance.
So : don't hope that will fix any eventual lagginess or slowdowns in CRCON's operations.

As you want to regain some storage on your host, you may want to reduce your database size.
Thus, deleting the log lines is the most effective way to do so, as old log lines aren't needed for CRCON to work.

Caution

This procedure will DELETE the log lines stored in CRCON's database.

• You won't find them anymore in Game Logs.
• If you're using them to retrace a player's timeline, all its history will be lost.
• You'll still be able to view his stats and sessions details in Games,
  or any message or admin action he received on his profile, though.
