Dashboard - Logs - How to clear them? - What is the Date-Time reference?

[djidjadji]

I have 2 questions about the Dashboard Logs window.

What is the reference of the Data-Time used in the log messages?
It's not UTC (as used in the Datastore). Is it PST? And how much does
this time differ from UTC?

How do I clear the log messages?
Every time I look at the log window I see a lot of (quota) messages.
After careful looking at the date-time I find there are NO new ones.
Is it possible to purge the log messages you know or that I have
downloaded with appcfg.py?

Hi,

To answer the first question, the logs are currently displayed in PST, which is currently -7:00 from GMT.

As for the second question, currently there is no way to clear log messages.  However, if you upload a new version of your application, that version's logs will be stored on new page with messages relating only to that version.

Do the logs count towards the storage quota?

Hi,

Currently, logs do not count towards storage quota.

Is this still the fact? I'd bet my house that logs count against
quota because this AM I was at about 0.5 MB of disk usage. I created
*lots* of log messages and ended up around 1.1 MB used with only a few
new data store entities.

I'd bet my house too :)

2-3 months during a W.E. there was a datastore timeout issue (so no
new entity were created, updated,...)
And all my Exceptions were log with a logging.exception (a lot of
debug info).

And my quota grew about 1MB/hour without any creation, deleting,...
just log.

Hi,

Logs still don't count against storage quota.  It's most likely the issue relating to deleting data with out it being proceeded by a get.

As always, if you are having issue with your quota, you can always apply for an increase in quota before we introduce billing:
