Diagnostics setting for azure VM


If i enable diagnostic setting for vm in azure and send it to storage account.

I can't able to specify retention period.

Should we manually delete the older logs.


Solution

  • Yes, if you send the logs to storage account, there is no way to configure the retention day. You need to delete it manually.

    But there is a feature azure storage lifecycle management, you can use this feature to define a delete policy. For example, define a delete policy for a specific blob/container which can be deleted after x days.
