Allow to clear/rotate logs at Mod Security > Hits List
Open Discussion
I, as a sysadmin, every time I have to browse this list and made a config change or rule suppression, would really appreciate if this screen could be reset, or cleared, or at least enforce log rotation for this in order to have a clear starting point to monitor from. A simple "Clear log" or "Reset log" button will do the trick.
Hope you can take it into consideration.
Best regards
I like this idea

Currently you can do this, albeit with three steps by altering the default time frame logs are kept in tweak settings:
WHM -> Tweak Settings -> "The number of days to keep records of ModSecurity™ rule hits. "
and then run the following clean up routine:
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/purge_modsec_log
...and then revert your tweak settings.
It would be great if that script took arguments so you could just do it in a single call from the CLI but thats how we're currently doing it when needed.

with this you force a rotation of the log:
