> Hello! Is the server Action Log absolutely immutable? Meaning, if you make a mistake in handling a server (VM) and it shows up in the Action Log, is there any way to remove that entry? I understand that the Action Log is kept in a database but am searching in vain for an API call that will allow such entries to be modified or deleted as opposed to merely displayed. What workarounds might exist?
