Tech Tip: R81.20 Default Log Retention via Upgrade

R81.20 Default Log Retention via Upgrade

Did you know that starting in Check Point Software Technologies Ltd R81.20, a new default parameter is set to only migrate up to 180 days of logs during the major version upgrade?

This behaviour can be changed to your preference by creating a new XML file with the retention parameters defined between 30-360 days of logs for migration!

👉 $FWDIR/conf/upgradeLogData.xml

Please refer to the official R81.20 Upgrade and Installation Guide here.
