SOLVED Clean failed events from task Manager

[Adnan]

Hi,
I have some old failed events in Task Manager which are sitting there and looks very messy.

How do I remove those failed events from task Manager?

reboot?
Yeah - I know its not a good answer

Thanks. That worked. Never came to my mind.

Is there any other way to clear old tasks? My Jobs page is extremely slow to load due to the large number of completed tasks. Is the task history stored in a database or a file? I have been trying to find the storage location on disk but have not been successful.

See my answer above - its the only way I have found

I was able to clear all task history by restarting the web UI using the below command:

Code:

systemctl restart middlewared
