Modifying Audit Services

Last updated: 2023-12-06 15:06:08

This document describes the procedure of modifying the audit service on the console.
Note：
If you choose to extend the log retention period, the change will be enforced immediately. If you choose to shorten the log retention period, logs that have exceeded their storage period will be cleaned immediately.
If you configure that data in recent n days is stored in the frequent access storage, data exceeding the n days threshold will be automatically reallocated to the infrequent access storage. As the duration of frequent access storage extends, audit data compliant with the retention duration will be automatically migrated from infrequent to frequent access storage.
Prerequisites
You have enabled the audit service. For more information, see Enabling Audit Service.
