Hello,

To clear the CMC logs on a Dell MX7000 chassis using the command-line interface (CLI), you can use the chassislog clear command, according to Dell. This command will delete the data in the chassis log. Ensure the user account you are using has the "Clear Logs" Administrator privilege.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

Log in to the CMC: Access the CMC (Chassis Management Controller) of the MX7000 chassis via SSH or Telnet using an account with the necessary privileges.
Execute the chassislog clear command: Type the following command and press Enter:

Code

   chassislog clear

Confirm the action: The command will likely prompt you to confirm the deletion of the log data. Type yes or y and press Enter to proceed.

Important Considerations:

Privileges:

The user account you use to log in to the CMC must have the "Clear Logs" Administrator privilege to execute this command.

Backup:

It is highly recommended to back up the logs before clearing them, especially if the log data is needed for future reference or troubleshooting. You can extract the logs using the "Extract Log" feature in the OME-Modular interface or through the omreport chassis logs command.

Hello,   From the link Young posted earlier it has the command syntax : chassislog clear  -but no option exists for deleting individual entries

Hello, Is it possible to clear only a specific log with cli commands (we tried using OME gui, but it didn't work)?We have an old log from August 2025. Thanks

Hello,

Dell MX7000 Chassis Management Controller (CMC) does not support clearing individual log entries—only full log clearing is possible.

You can Clear All CMC Logs via CLI

If you need to clear all logs:

SSH into the MX7000 CMC.

Run:

clear logs

or for specific categories:

clear logs system

clear logs audit

clear logs raclog

(This clears entire log categories, not individual entries.)
