Note: This list applies to On-Premise, Hosted, and Cloud Instances only. For AWS Cloud instances, the
sbs.log
is the main log file maintaining logging for most of the sub-components.
Cloud instance logs are kept in Kibana/Grafana as well. The logs are rotated and only the last 11 are accessible (the file with 10 at the end is the oldest and the one without a number at the end is the current one we write to).
The period for which data is collected inside each log file can be different and depends on the particular instance. The higher the frequency of activity in the instance, the faster will be the rotation of logs corresponding to an overall smaller time period for which logs are stored at any given time.
For example, depending on the activity of the instance, those 11 logs combined could show the data from 5 months ago or from 5 hours ago.
