Managing Logging Retention Configuration

You can configure how long longs are retained by setting the minimum number of days to maintain logs. The default minimum is 7 days and the maximum is 180 days.

CloudControl automatically purges logs every day according to the number of days you set. However, you can run the purge job at any time.

Changing the Log Retention

1. Select Configuration > Logging.
2. In the Log message retention period (Days) field, set the number of days that you want to purge every day.

3. Click Apply.

   The number of days will be purged the next time the daily scheduled event runs.

Purging Logs Immediately

1. Select Configuration > Logging.
2. In the Log message retention period (Days) field, set the number of days that you want to purge.

3. Click Purge Logs.

   The number of days that you set will be purged immediately. However, the value will not be saved and used for the daily scheduled event unless you click the Apply button.
