I am getting this error message trying to use plugin ```auto In FileLoader.php line 208: Expected to find class "MauticPlugin\MauticHouskeepingBundle\Command\EventLogCleanupCommand" in file "/home/agwmadmin/mas.agwm.org/plugins/ MauticHouskeepingBundle/Command/EventLogCleanupCommand.php" while importing services from resource "../../plugins/*/Command/*", but it was not found! Check the namespace prefix used with the resource. ``` The EventLogCleanupCommand.php is there in the folder where it supposed to be at. Any idea what I am doing wrong? ---

I have a question regarding the email\_stats table, is it safe to truncate this table? I understand stats will be off/ not available, but is it going to break functionality in any way? I care more about keeping the db small than to see stats from 1 year ago… tnx! ---

Regarding the mautic:maintenance:cleanup command, this would also delete audit logs for known contacts too, no? Atleast, that’s what i see happening when using this command on a live instance. ---
