Increasing Tracking Center logs beyond 2 weeks

[zolthar]

Not sure if this is by default - however is there a way to increase the Tracking Center log retention so that I can see the last month or longer?

I want to measure and review what emails are coming through and would like to gather a larger sample beyond 2 weeks.

I have tried the following in UI:

• Configuration > Options > User statistic lifetime = 120
• Configuration > Spam Detector > Quarantine > Lifetime = 30

Thanks in advance

The Tracking Center is backed by pmg-log-tracker which parses the syslog files.
To increase log retention you have to modify /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog.

Thank you for this increased from default 4 weeks to 8 weeks.

The main problem that you will have is you will be hitting the web ui limit "aborted by limit (too many hits)"
I seen your post here https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-to-increase-tracking-center-log-limit.92914/#post-404651 but even when changing values here I am still hitting the limit. What do we need to change and do to apply higher web ui limit?

@poetry My question is different from that topic as that was the display of the WebUI logs which I currently do not have an issue with. However I did want to track for the last month's logs as space is not critical as its on our own server - however I wanted to retain a larger sample of the logs so see the different emails coming and going.

Specifcally to improve on SPAM Subject detection and proving if someone has (or has not) sent a particular email!

@mira thank you very much and I have increased syslog to 30.

BTW, what is Messages log?
