Changing the SDCS log retention settings on an Access Appliance node
By default, the Access Appliance Appliance stores each SDCS log entry for 30 days. You can adjust this retention period to any number of days. However, if disk space becomes a factor, you can choose to retain a set amount of log files (each log file is ~10.5 MB).
You can check the current SDCS log retention settings for the appliance at any time using the Audit ShowSettings command in the Main_Menu > Monitor > SDCS view.
To change the SDCS log retention settings
- Log on to the Access Appliance shell menu.
From the Main_Menu > Monitor > SDCS view, enter one of the following commands:
To set the number of days in the retention period:
Audit SetSettings RetentionPeriod <days>
Where <days> is the specific number of days that you want the appliance to retain each log entry.
To set the number of log files the appliance retains:
Audit SetSettings FileNumber <files>
Where <files> is the specific number of SDCS log file that you want the appliance to retain at any given time.
