Technical Tip: How to set the maximum age for logs on disk

[vrajendran]

Description
This article describes how to set the maximum age for logs stored on disk.

Solution
By default, the maximum age for logs to store on disk is 7 days.
Logs older than this are purged.

Below are the steps to increase the maximum age of logs stored on disk.

# config log disk setting
    set maximum-log-age                                    <----- Enter an integer value from <0> to <3650> (default = <7>)
end

Example.

# config log disk setting
    set maximum-log-age 30                   <----- Here logs older than 30 days will be purged.
end

Note.
If the log disk becomes full before the maximum-log-age is reached, then older logs will get overwritten.
