How to limit log uploads from a particular log type
Use case
As a sysadmin, you may want to monitor a specific log type that you upload and manage using Applications Manager AppLogs. Assuming that you have purchased a license of 100 GB and there are four types of logs managed. Keeping an eye on a particular log type is crucial. Considering that syslogs consume the major part of your log upload, you determine it is best to limit it to 25 GB so there's enough space for the rest of the logs.
Solution
How do you accomplish this? In this instance, you can set a limit so that any upload beyond the 25 GB limit is stopped. You can set these limits while adding your log type. For all existing log types, you can edit and set the limit.
To set the upload limit:
- Navigate to Settings → AppLogs Configuration → Log Types.
- Either click Add Log Type to create a new log type, or select an existing log type to edit.
- Locate the Maximum Upload Limit (GB) field in the Advanced Settings section.
- Enter your desired limit (e.g., 25 GB).
- Click Save.
- Once the upload limit is reached for a log type, any additional logs of that type will not be uploaded until the next billing cycle.
