Chapter 10: Working with Audit Logs 415
Retaining the Audit Log
By default, an audit log is retained for one week. However, you may specify a retention time of up
to one year.
NOTE: Audit log information is stored in the DSView software database and is replicated. Increasing the audit
log retention time may impact the performance of your DSView system. It is recommended that old audit log
entries be archived to .csv files by scheduling tasks. See Managing Tasks on page 368 for more information.
To specify an audit log retention time:
1. From the side navigation bar, click Log Retention. The Audit Log Retention Time window
will appear.

2. Type a number of days (from 1-365) in the Days field, or select it using the drop-down menu.
3. Click Save to save your changes.
