This option provides the ability to configure an automatic data purge of the Audit Log, based on some number of days. All audit log entries older than the specified number days are purged automatically.
Users that have the Manage Audit Log permission can can configure auto-purge settings
How it Works
When the the Auto-purge option is defined, for example Number of days = 10, then any record in the Audit Log that is more than 10 days old is permanently deleted. The auto-purge action may not happen immediately, but the purge action is scheduled every day.
- Considerations
- In a purge action, the audit log entries are deleted permanently and cannot be restored
- The auto-purge action bypasses any Recycle Bin restore option
- By default, auto-purge is disabled
To configure Auto-Purge for Audit Log records:
- Click Settings > Administration > Audit Log
- Click the [Purge Settings] button
- Specify the number of days to retain the Audit Log entries
- The number of days must be a positive number, greater than zero
- If the number of days is equal to zero, Auto-Purge is disabled
- Field label
- Retention Period (Days)
- Click [Save]
The Audit Log includes a log of any actions related to Auto-purge settings.
