Archives
Overview
The Archive page provides access to view, download, and customize the display of log files that have been archived by the Log Retention module. Archiving policies and retention periods are configured in the Log Retention settings; this page focuses solely on post-archive access and management.
Page Functions and Usage
Viewing Archived Logs
Archived logs are displayed in a table with the following columns:
Archive Name
File Size
Expiration Date
Archive Date
Customizing Columns (“Customize View”)
Rearrange columns via drag-and-drop.
Hide columns you don’t need.
Apply changes by clicking “Apply Changes”.
Downloading Archived Files
Each file in the list has a download option.
This allows you to save archived logs to your local system.
Sorting and Filtering
Use table columns to filter and sort results (e.g., by Archive Date or File Size).
Relation to Log Retention
The retention period, archiving schedule, and automatic deletion are configured in the Log Retention module, not in the Archive page.
Log Retention also manages archiving policies, notification emails, and retention duration.
For details, refer to the official Log Retention documentation: Log Retention User Guide.
Example Workflow
Open the Archive page and access the Customize View panel.
Arrange column order and visibility as desired; click Apply Changes to confirm.
Filter or sort the archived files list (e.g., show the most recently archived).
Click the download icon for the file you want to retrieve.
The file is saved locally and can be inspected if needed.
Tips & Warnings
Column customization only changes the display; it does not affect file content or archiving policies.
Filtering and sorting are essential when working with large archive lists.
Progressive download may be supported to avoid memory overload with large files.
Archive page is for access only – retention periods and deletion rules are managed in the Log Retention settings.
