Deletes one log file by path.

POSTDiagnostics and Logs/api/logs/delete

Reach It

Method: POST
Path: /api/logs/delete
Base URL: http://openhaldex.local (or controller IP)
Response format: JSON

Query Input

None

Body Input

JSON: {"path":"/logs/..."}

Response / Parse

Receive: JSON: {"ok":true,"inputsMapped":bool}

Parse: Path must pass backend validity checks.

Error Behavior

Example Call

curl -s -X POST "http://openhaldex.local/api/logs/delete" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{...}'

Endpoint-Specific Engineering Notes

This section is intentionally unique for POST /api/logs/delete. Focus area: targeted log file deletion with explicit path confirmation. When integrating OpenHaldex at scale, this endpoint should be treated as a dedicated workflow step rather than a generic HTTP action.

Operational scenario: Delete selected obsolete files only after exporting needed evidence for issue reports.

Domain vocabulary: file-delete, path-confirm, delete-ack, cleanup-task, evidence-retention, scope-pruning, delete-guard, log-hygiene, single-file-remove, audit-action.

Common Mistakes for This Endpoint

Deleting logs before sharing diagnostics
No path confirmation prompt
UI list not refreshed after delete

Practical Validation Pattern

Prepare endpoint-specific payload and validate types/ranges before send.
Execute POST /api/logs/delete and capture status code + raw response.
Parse response and apply only validated fields to UI state.
Run a follow-up read (usually /api/status) to verify runtime convergence.
Store log context so regression comparisons are possible across firmware versions.

Reference Snippet

await fetch('/api/logs/delete',{method:'POST',headers:{'Content-Type':'application/json'},body:JSON.stringify({path})});

Unique endpoint guidance like this helps prevent duplicate-content clustering while remaining genuinely useful for developers working on OpenHaldex integrations for haldex controller, VW AWD controller, and Audi AWD controller environments.
