Changing the Log Storage Duration

Logs are stored for seven days by default. The storage duration can be set to 1 to 360 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.

Prerequisites

Logs have been dumped to LTS by configuring Configuring Logs.
