How Long Can WAF Protection Logs Be Stored?
On the WAF console, you can view logs for the last 30 days and download logs for all protected websites for the last five days for free.
The storage duration depends on your choices. You can store WAF logs in Log Tank Service (LTS) for seven days by default and up to 30 days by additional custom configuration. Logs earlier than 30 days will be deleted automatically by LTS. LTS is additionally billed. If you seek for long-term storage, enable the log transfer function in LTS to dump those logs to Object Storage Service (OBS) buckets or enable Data Ingestion Service (DIS).
- To enable LTS in WAF, refer to Enabling LTS for WAF Logging.
- To transfer LTS logs to OBS, Transferring Logs to OBS.
