Data management: log retention

    Harvest writes log entries as it processes emails. To keep storage predictable while still keeping recent diagnostic information available, logs are retained for a fixed period and then removed automatically.

    Retention period

    • Every log entry has a type: Info, Warn, or Error.
    • All three types are retained for 14 days from creation.
    • Once a log entry's retention period has elapsed, it is deleted automatically.

    Automatic removal

    • Log removal runs on a recurring basis with no manual intervention. Admins do not need to clean up log storage.
