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.

    • Logs can be stored for 1 to 360 days. Logs that exceed the specified storage duration are automatically deleted.
    • The longer the storage duration, the larger the occupied storage. For details about how to dump logs to other cloud services for long-term storage, see Log Transfer Overview.
