As we start a new year, I'm thinking about data retention in general. :) In my experience, it's pretty rare on an end-user laptop or desktop system for logs from much more than the previous boot to be interesting. Maybe I occasionally want to look back a little while to see if a problem just started. It's exceedingly rare that I need (or want) to look back more than a month.
Right now, we don't set MaxRetentionSec, so journal expiry on Workstation is entirely based on disk usage. Logs can accidentally contain sensitive data, and it's just plain faster to work with them when there's less. I propose we set this to something like six months by default. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
