Can I flush the logs of only one app in Pm2?

Assuming my app id is 2

I tried

pm2 flush 2

but still it flushes all apps' logs.

It was a bug in pm2.

I submitted an issue and they fixed it.

To solve it on your side, run these commands:

$ npm install pm2@latest -g
$ pm2 update

And it should work with the latest release.

    well ... pm2 flush works - but it flushes ALL logs for ALL running processes. If you do pm2 flush [n] to only clear the logs for a particular id number then it says "[PM2] Logs flushed" but the logs are untouched ! Moreover, pm2 flush [n] isn't shown as an option on the PM2 cheatsheet – Andy Lorenz Oct 08 '20 at 08:57
  • I'm on PM2 4.5 and it's still buggy! https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/issues/4074#issuecomment-694216056 – Mir-Ismaili May 27 '21 at 20:23
  • I'm on 5.1.2 and it doesn't work! I'm manually truncating the log files. :D – ankush981 Dec 25 '21 at 07:10

You can flush log of specific app by mentioning name or id.

pm2 flush my_app_name // by name
pm2 flush my_app_id   // by id
