Audit data is now stored separately from customer records so an organization’s audit log can grow to many terabytes in size without limiting available Database capacity.

Audit Retention Policy:

• In the ‘Admin Center’, on the ‘Environment’ page now we have ‘Auditing -> Manage’ option to set the Audit Retention Policy.

• Select one of the options from the dropdown to set the retention duration.

• Audit records are automatically deleted after the retention period is over, relieving administrators from the burden of deleting audit data manually. 
• It is also possible to keep the audit log indefinitely by not specifying a retention period.

Free up capacity:

• With the new audit deletion options, Administrators can delete the logs of one or more audited tables, delete the user access logs, or delete logs up to a specific date in order to free up storage space.
