mcelog

Guys I am looking at mcelog but have a question. I know this is not the most informational file. I use herd to confirm correct memory slots.

How do you know what dates the errors occurred as I know we had already replaced memory a couple months ago and it was in the same banks. I am thinking these are just old errors.

How do you all clear your mcelog to make sure that data is not old?

Example of mcelog output
