Configuration

Config logs are common to any product, application, or service that writes to Cortex Data Lake. These are used to record changes made to the writing entity. Usually config logs are written infrequently and it is possible that they will age-out of Cortex Data Lake, depending on quota levels, so that none are available if you query for them.
For example, Cortex Data Lake quotas are defined by collections, or buckets, that encompass many types of logs. Next-generation firewall config logs are placed in the
Infrastructure and Audit
quota bucket. They share this bucket with system logs, which the firewall writes considerably more frequently than config logs.
As a specific quota fills up in Cortex Data Lake, older logs are automatically removed to make space for new logs (that is, they age-out). Consequently, as system logs are written and the
Infrastructure and Audit
quota is met, older logs (including config logs) are automatically removed. If the firewall's configuration is stable so that it is not changing very often, you might not find any config logs in Cortex Data Lake, even if the firewall is forwarding them to the data lake.
