# Internal Log Settings

Complete the following to configure internal log settings for a **LogServer** appliance:

- ***Audit Log Retention Period.*** Enter the number of days audit logs will be kept in the LogServer database. You should avoid setting this to more than 183 days (6 months) to avoid running out of shards. Make sure you have specified an adequate disk size based on the rate of log generation and the retention period chosen.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE**
> 
> The LogServer needs to have admin access (port 8443) to the Controllers.
