max_syslog_file_time specifies the maximum retention period of archive logs. The value 0 specifies to ignore this limitation.
Note
This parameter applies only when the enable_syslog_file_compress is set to true.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Parameter type | Time |
| Default value | 7d |
| Value range | [1s, +∞) |
| Effective upon ODP restart | No |
This parameter must be used in combination with the max_syslog_file_count parameter. The following table describes the combinations of these two parameters.
| max_syslog_file_time = 0 | max_syslog_file_time > 0 | |
|---|---|---|
| max_syslog_file_count = 0 | Archive logs are not cleared. This combination applies to scenarios with sufficient disk capacities. | Archive log retention is restricted only by time. If the retention period of archive logs exceeds the specified threshold, the logs are deleted. |
| max_syslog_file_count > 0 | Archive log retention is restricted only by space. If the number of archive log files exceeds the value of max_syslog_file_count, archive logs are deleted starting from the earliest ones. |
Archive log retention is restricted by both time and space. This is the recommended optimal configuration. |
