16.1.3 Retention

This section explains the retention of operation logs.
-
Periodic deletion
Due to extended periods of operation or modification of retention periods, operation logs which have exceeded a certain retention
period are periodically deleted.
The timing of deletion (based on retention period checks) is set to take place as the first operation after the date changes.
Note
-
The recording period is the retention period + 1. After periodic deletion is performed, the recording period will be equal to the
retention period.
-
Periodic deletion is executed when the next recording is started (the first recording after the date changes), and operation logs will
be deleted in chronological order.
-
Deletion
Users can delete unnecessary operation logs by defining a retention period.
