This parameter must be used in combination with the max_syslog_file_count parameter. The following table describes the combinations of these two parameters.
max_syslog_file_time = 0 |
max_syslog_file_time > 0 |
|
|---|---|---|
| max_syslog_file_count = 0 | Archive logs are not cleared. This combination applies to scenarios with sufficient disk capacities. | Archive log retention is restricted only by time. If the retention period of archive logs exceeds the specified threshold, the logs are deleted. |
| max_syslog_file_count > 0 | Archive log retention is restricted only by space. If the number of archive log files exceeds the value of max_syslog_file_count, archive logs are deleted starting from the earliest ones. |
Archive log retention is restricted by both time and space. This is the recommended optimal configuration. |
