The humio-audit repository has special retention rules that depends on the sensitive value. Sensitive logs are deleted by retention only when they are too old, controlled by AUDITLOG_SENSITIVE_RETENTION_DAYS. Changing this setting requires a systems operator to change the configuration of the servers running LogScale, and then to restart LogScale.

Non-sensitive logs are deleted according to the regular retention settings for the repository. The default retention setting for this repository is to keep the log forever.
