# Log cleanup {#administration-log-cleanup}

The log table can be cleaned up automatically using the *Table garbage collection* Scheduler task.

A new entry for that task can be created with the following options:

-   *Table to clean up*: `tx_externalimport_domain_model_log`
-   *Delete entries older than given number of days*: 30 (default)

A pre-configuration exists in the [`ext_localconf.php`](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/14.3/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/FileStructure/ExtLocalconf.html#file-extension-ext-localconf-php) file with a configuration
of 180 days.

If you run a lot of imports, make sure that this table is cleaned up regularly.
