Question regarding the "activity" tab - Denilson Rosa - 2025-01-15

Hello, I apologize for my English, I'm Brazilian and I'm writing with the help of Google Translate.

I would like to know how I can clear the alerts, records, log from the "activity" tab
I hope someone can help me and sorry for my ignorance of the question.

That's currently not possible through Jellyfin's webUI.

You cannot clear the activity logs in the UI, but you can change the retention by editing system.xml and running the activity clean up job.

Windows: C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\config\system.xml
Linux: /etc/jellyfin/system.xml
Docker: /config/config/system.xml (wherever you have /config mounted)

Edit the ActivityLogRetentionDays line to however many days you want to retain (default 30). Setting it to 0 will clear all activity logs. Restart jellyfin and then run the activity clean up job.

If you just want this to be a one time clean up, you will need to edit the file again setting it to however many days you want to retain activity logs and restart jellyfin again.
