What are some effective log archiving strategies?

Effective log archiving strategies include using tiered storage, implementing retention policies, and automating the archiving process.

Can you explain tiered storage?

Tiered storage involves categorizing logs based on their importance and frequency of access, storing critical logs on faster storage and older logs on cheaper, slower storage.

What retention policies should I consider?

Consider policies based on compliance requirements, business needs, and the type of logs, such as keeping security logs for several years and application logs for a shorter period.

How can I automate the archiving process?

You can automate log archiving using scripts or tools that schedule regular archiving tasks, ensuring logs are moved to the appropriate storage without manual intervention.
