CTP3 – Clear-EventLog
Continuing our tour around the event log cmdlets we come to Clear-EventLog. This does exactly what it says – it clears the entries out of one or more logs. Note that it does not backup the entries in anyway – it is just a clear.
We can clear a single log
Clear-EventLog -LogName "Windows PowerShell"
or we can work with multiple logs – for instance based on the number of records
Get-EventLog -List | Where{$_.Entries.Count -gt 5000} | Foreach {Clear-EventLog -LogName $_.Log}
We need administrator access on Vista and later. The usual –whatif and –confirm parameters are available. This cmdlet also has a –computername parameter for working with remote machines
