Managing a Magento 2 store is more than just adding products and keeping customers happy. There's another important part that's often forgotten ,the log files that build up over time. These files help with fixing problems and understanding how the store works, but if they aren't cleared regularly, they can slow down your store, take up too much space on your server, and cause performance issues.

That’s where Milople’s Magento 2 Log Cleaner helps. It’s a smart, automatic tool that keeps your store running quickly and efficiently without much work on your part.

Why Log Cleaning Matters in Magento 2

Magento 2 automatically creates logs for almost every system activity, such as tracking errors, system tasks, debugging, and user actions. These logs are useful for developers and admins, but they can grow very large, especially on websites that get a lot of traffic.

Common Issues from Not Managing Logs:

  1. High Use of Server Storage Log files can quickly increase in size from a few megabytes to several gigabytes, taking up a lot of disk space and possibly causing server problems.

  2. Slower Backend and Admin Panel Big log folders can make admin tasks, indexing, and cron jobs run slower, leading to slow performance and delayed actions.

  3. Harder Troubleshooting When logs are too big and messy, it's harder to find specific issues, which can slow down your ability to fix problems quickly.

For long-term performance and growth, regular log cleaning is very important. However, deleting logs manually isn't a good long-term solution.

Milople, known for delivering trusted Magento extensions, has developed the Magento 2 Log Cleaner, a powerful yet user-friendly tool designed to automate log file cleanup while preserving important data through safe backups.

Key Features:

  1. Automated Log Cleanup
    The extension integrates with Magento’s native cron job system, allowing you to schedule daily or weekly log cleanups based on your needs.

  2. Safe Backup Before Deletion
    Instead of deleting logs outright, the tool stores them in a structured backup folder (var/backup/log/YYYY/MM/DD/), ensuring data safety and easy access.

  3. Custom Log Selection
    Choose specific log types for cleanup, such as system logs, exception logs, debug logs, or even custom logs, depending on your store’s requirements.

  4. Storage Optimization
    Free up server disk space by removing unnecessary logs, leading to improved backend speed and smoother store operations.

  5. Cache File Cleaning Included
    Old cache files can cause layout issues and incorrect data display. This extension also clears outdated cache files to ensure a more stable environment.

  6. Multi-Store Support
    If you manage multiple Magento stores, you can configure different cleanup rules for each one perfect for large or growing businesses.

  7. Secure Access Control
    Only users with a valid serial key can access the settings, ensuring unauthorized changes are prevented.
