Log data management configuration overview

Log data management involves several main steps.

  1. Configure logging to generate only the log entries you need.
  2. (Optional) Set up log archiving to store older important logs for possible later use and free up the space on the Log Server.
  3. (Recommended) Set up scheduled log data tasks for deleting logs that are not needed in the long term.
  4. (Optional) Configure log pruning to prune out any unnecessary logs if any are generated.
