    Hello community,

    we have 4 Aruba controllers (2x7030, 7010 and 7005), at the moment the firmware 6.5.4.7 is running on them.
    Our data protection officer would now like to know how long our controllers keep the logs, especially the user or security logs?

     

    Thanks

    It is not purged based on retention time; it is purged based on space.  If the logging level was increased from the default "warnings" space would run out more quickly.  I would always log to an external syslog server to guard against that.  There is not really much space on the controller for log retention, really.
