Log Archives

Log files record events that occur in your deployment. By archiving log files, you can maintain a history of all deployment activity, such as logon attempts and Security Console administrative operations. You can examine archived log files to troubleshoot problems or to audit security issues.

You use the Security Console to archive log files in the following ways:

• Schedule a one-time log archive job.

• Schedule a recurring log archive job. Recurring archive jobs run automatically on specified days, weeks, or months.

You can perform the following operations to manage log archives:

• Purge and export online log data stored for more than a specified number of days

• Export online log data stored for more than a specified number of days

• Purge online log data stored for more than a specified number of days

• Not purge or export online log data
