Backup Logs Information
The logging information can be retained in an on-board database. It can also preserve the data in the event of a loss of power. These features apply if the appliance has had additional non-volatile storage built into the it and the appliance is running SonicOS 6.5.1 or later.
The maximum number of entries that can be stored on the log database is increased to 50,000 for all platforms, but the amount of space available is driven by the size of the built-in storage module and space allocated for logging.
If storage is available, backups of the logs are taken automatically and requires no configuration. They can also be manually deleted.
Loading the Log Reports page can be slower when there are too many entries in the log database. Similarly, exporting a log report can be slower.
To delete backups:
- Navigate to the Device > Settings > Storage > Files page.
- Under Logs group, click Purge.The backups are deleted.
