LogRetention
Log retention period for the application's CloudWatch Log Groups.
| Default value | 7 |
Use Cases
- Increase to
30,60, or90days when you need longer log history for debugging or compliance - Set to blank (
"") for unlimited retention when regulatory requirements mandate indefinite log storage - Keep at
7(default) to balance log availability with CloudWatch storage costs
Additional Information
Setting this to a high or unlimited value may affect the performance of convox logs.
For long-term log storage, consider using syslog.
This parameter only applies when LogDriver is set to CloudWatch. When the log driver is set to Syslog or blank, no CloudWatch log group is created and this parameter has no effect.
The value is passed directly to the CloudWatch Logs log group's RetentionInDays property. When blank, CloudWatch retains logs indefinitely (no expiration).
The Rack also has a LogRetention parameter that controls retention for Rack-level logs. The app-level parameter only affects this application's log group.
