We have recently run into a problem with too much log data for our CI
logs. Not surprising since we still have logs from early 2019. So I guess
we don't have a log retention policy. I was thinking 60 days? Too
little? Too much?
11:56 a.m.
The consensus of the system roles team is
* 6 month retention - roughly corresponding to fedora release cycle
* keep the last logs for a role if no logs are generated e.g. if there is
no update to the kdump role for more than 6 months, still keep the last
logs that were generated, even if older than 6 months
comments, concerns?

sounds good. If you have a way to have these complex criteria, it might
also be good to restrict the amount of used space, so
1) more logs would be stored as long as there is enough storage
2) if there is not enough storage but above rules don't apply, still
cleanup something
Cheers
