Log files can contain private or sensitive information. To maximize data privacy and security, you can configure log retention and specify how long you want to keep logs. After this retention period, Avaya Aura® Web Gateway deletes log files within an hour.

The default log retention period depends on whether data encryption is enabled as follows:

• If data encryption is disabled, the default period is 1 day.

• If data encryption is enabled, the default period is 30 days.

Avaya recommends that you set the log retention period to at least 8 days, unless your organization’s policies defines another retention period.

If a log file exceeds a size limit, Avaya Aura® Web Gateway deletes this log file even if the log retention period is not expired.
