Log Retention

Introduction

The Log Retention Module in Autommate allows you to define how long system logs are stored and where they are archived. This feature helps optimize resource usage, ensures compliance with legal requirements, and enhances system performance by preventing unnecessary log accumulation. Additionally, users can receive notifications when logs are archived, enabling proactive system monitoring.

• Define the folder path where logs are saved

• Receive email notifications for archived logs

• Behavior varies for Cloud and On-Premise deployments

• Restore to default settings with a single click
