Changing the Log Storage Duration

Logs are stored for seven days by default. The storage duration can be set to 1 to 365 days. Logs that exceed the storage duration will be automatically deleted. For log data that needs to be stored for a long time (log persistence), LTS can dump the logs to OBS for medium- and long-term storage.

Changing the Log Storage Duration

  1. Dump logs to LTS. For details, see Configuring Logs.
  2. Log in to the CFW console.
  3. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
  4. (Optional) Switch to another firewall instance. Select a firewall from the drop-down list in the upper left corner of the page.
  5. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Log Audit > Log Management. On the displayed page, click Modify Log Storage Duration.

    • Logs can be stored for 1 to 365 days. Logs that exceed the specified storage duration are automatically deleted.
    • The longer the storage duration, the more space the logs will occupy. You can dump logs to other cloud services for long-term storage.

      For details, see Log Transfer.

    • If a message indicating insufficient permissions is displayed, grant the LTS FullAccess permission.
