Data management

You can select the duration for which reports must be retained. The firewall automatically purges older reports.

You can only retain reports for a maximum of one year. To optimize the firewall's disk usage, we recommend choosing a duration that meets your organization's requirements.

Tip

Check your compliance requirements before you change the report retention period.

  • Log retention report period: Specifies how long reports are retained in the firewall. Changes to the settings come into effect at 00:00.

    Note

    The duration you specify applies only to reports. It doesn't apply to logs.

  • Export customization: Allows selection of reports and number of records per report while exporting reports.
