During calling command “pritunl-zero clear-logs” on pritunl-zero management node, the command will be failed for error “document is nil”.

```

This is caused by the nil parameter for filter in method Clear() [pritunl-zero/log/utils.go at dea0444954bb2ada0756a9fe7e6f357a27ebdd9b · pritunl/pritunl-zero · GitHub](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-zero/blob/dea0444954bb2ada0756a9fe7e6f357a27ebdd9b/log/utils.go)
