Is there a way to purge all the error logs ?  
During development, there are always errors and faults, but by the time I get to the job site application is pretty well developed. Just don’t want wrapper log file to get too large and start with a fresh file.

thanks

Stop the service, delete wrapper.log file(s) and logs.bin, start the service.

You don’t need to worry about either of these growing unbounded, however. They are both pruned/rotated. wrapper.logs rotation parameters are in ignition.conf, logs.bin is fixed at 20mb.
