Configuring report purge settings

Report purging is the deleting of report files to preserve log space and maintain log system performance. By default, DDoS report files are purged on a first-in, first-out basis when the disk allocation for reports reaches 10 GB.

Report purge settings are configurable. You can specify a different threshold, and you can purge reports manually.

Before you begin:

• You must have Read-Write permission for Log & Report settings.

To configure purge settings:

1. Go to Log & Report > Report Purge Settings.
2. Complete the configuration as described in the table below.
3. Save the configuration
