What is the use of Configuring the log protection plugin

[Kishor O]

What is the effect of configuring the log protection plugin in servicenow?

*Can anyone explain how we can control logs in the ServiceNow prod instance to avoid the system performance.

Thank you!

Hi,

Basically you are not supposed to add unnecessary logging in custom scripts going to production instance(or out of dev)

The log table is already on rotation oob, so it will keep flushing old logs out.

Are you looking at anything more?

Hi @Kishor O ,

To avoid Log tampering we use  log protection plugin.

Configure the protection rules for each table and operation to complete the configuration of the log protection plugin.
