 +      * Possibility to set a "​Server Logfile Retention"​ period. This defines how long server logfiles in /var/log/* will be retained. Default is 14 days, but you *have* to check which retention period for logfiles is legally acceptable in your own jurisdiction. For example: **German BlueOnyx operators are advised to store logfiles for no longer than [[https://​www.blueonyx.it/​index.php?​mact=News,​cntnt01,​detail,​0&​cntnt01articleid=231&​cntnt01origid=54&​cntnt01pagelimit=4&​cntnt01returnid=54|7 days]]**.
  
       * Possibility to set a maximum "Vsite Usage Information"​ retention period. This is still set to 5 years by default. But if you set it to a shorter period (example: 1 year), then no Virtual Site may keep their logfiles for longer than that. They can choose a shorter retention period, but not one that exceeds the value defined under "Vsite Usage Information"​.       * Possibility to set a maximum "Vsite Usage Information"​ retention period.
