# Configuration

## Logs retention

Logs are kept in database for every REST requests made by a client application. They can be used for debugging and monitoring of the activity.

The Logs menu is shown only with Developer tools (`?debug=1`) activated.

By default, REST logs are kept 30 days. You can change the duration of the retention by changing the System Parameter `rest.log.retention.days`.

If the value is set to 0, the logs are not stored at all.

Logged data is: request URL and method, parameters, headers, result or error.

## Logs activation

You have 2 ways to activate logging:

- on the service component set _log_calls_in_db = True
- via configuration

In the 1st case, calls will be always be logged.

In the 2nd case you can set `rest.log.active` param as:

    `collection_name`  # enable for all endpoints of the collection
    `collection_name.usage`  # enable for specific endpoints
    `collection_name.usage.endpoint`  # enable for specific endpoints
    `collection_name*:state`  # enable only for specific state (success, failed)
