Configuring Data Storage Duration
Firewall Analyzer retains the Firewall log data in the database as well as archives the
logs received from each Firewall device, and zips them in regular intervals. The
Archived Files page displays files that have been archived for each device. Perpetual
retention of data in the database as well as archives use a lot disk space. If you are
concerned about the disk space used by Firewall Analyzer, use these options as per your
policies. To provide you more control, Firewall Analyzer gives you options to configure
the data retention period for the database and archiving separately.
