If we delete WitnessClientAdmin.log from the event logs, what activities are deleted?

Question

Hello World,
I've seen an event ID of 104 from the system, which states that The WitnessClientAdmin log was cleared. I've looked in other resources but haven't been able to find out more about it, therefore I'm curious as to what other actions or event data were cleared when the aforementioned procedure took place? Hoping for reply>ASAP!

Hello AJ7,

Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.

Event ID 104 typically indicates that the log for the WitnessClientAdmin component was cleared. However, without more specific information or context, it is difficult to provide a detailed list of other actions or event data that may have been cleared during this procedure.

In general, when a log is cleared, it means that the existing log entries or data within a particular component or system have been deleted or reset. The purpose of clearing logs is often to free up storage space or remove older or irrelevant information from the log files.

Logs can contain various types of data, including system events, error messages, user actions, and other relevant information for troubleshooting or auditing purposes. Therefore, when a log is cleared, it is likely that all or a subset of this data is removed.

To obtain more specific information about the actions or event data that were cleared during the process you mentioned, it would be helpful to refer to system documentation, consult the documentation or support resources for the WitnessClientAdmin component or application, or reach out to the system administrator or technical support team responsible for managing the system where the event occurred. They would be able to provide more detailed insights into the specific effects of clearing the WitnessClientAdmin log.
