Overview

Log retention on FortiAnalyzer reworked so that storage consumption and retention requirements stopped working against each other.

02

Technical challenge

Log retention settings and available storage were not aligned, putting the required retention window at risk as volume grew.

03

Architecture

  • 01Retention policy reviewed against storage capacity and the required retention window.
  • 02Log storage allocation adjusted to match analytics and archive needs.
  • 03Retention configured so compliance requirements are met within available capacity.
04

Implementation

  • Assessed FortiAnalyzer log storage consumption and retention configuration.
  • Remediated retention settings and storage allocation.
  • Aligned retention with compliance requirements.
05

Outcome

Log retention and storage allocation brought into alignment, keeping the required retention window sustainable.
