About setting limits on audit log files

To prevent logging data from exceeding the storage capacity of far-edge devices, you can set rotation and retention limits for MicroShift audit log files. Configuring the size, number, and age values ensures that host systems maintain the processing space required for node workloads.

The values you set to limit MicroShift audit logs enable you to enforce the size, number, and age limits of audit log backups. Field values are processed independently of one another and without prioritization.

You can set fields in combination to define a maximum storage limit for retained logs. For example:

  • Set both maxFileSize and maxFiles to create a log storage upper limit.

  • Set a maxFileAge value to automatically delete files older than the timestamp in the file name, regardless of the maxFiles value.
