Adjust the retention days for each log type.Field Value CONFIGURED RETENTION DAYS (Optional) The number of days that Strata Logging Service retains logs. Set this value only if you have a company or regulatory retention policy that requires you to delete logs after a given time period.To streamline log management, Strata Cloud ManagerĀ® now provides 6 predefined retention period options. When you select a predefined option, the system purges logs after the specified number of days. If you have an existing custom retention configuration, the system automatically migrates your setting to the closest available predefined option.When a log type reaches its max retention days, Strata Logging Service deletes the oldest logs of that type.Those who require longer retention times (mostly for compliance reasons) should forward their logs to a third-party solution for long-term storage, such as AWS S3.Setting MAX RETENTION DAYS for a log type to 0 means that Strata Logging Service does not store the logs. If you set MAX RETENTION DAYS to 0, all existing logs will be deleted.You can toggle whether to store or ingest log data from individual firewalls in the Inventory tab.Apply your changes.
