• Retention parameters:
  • -keep    = minimum number of log files to keep in all cases (default = 3, minimum = 1)
    • Overrides the next 2 parameters
    • Keeps the most recent ones
  • -daysarc = number of days to keep the log files before archiving (zipping) them (default = 35 days)
    • The script will look for all log files with .log extension, older than "daysarc" days, and will zip them (if possible)
  • -daysdel = number of days to keep the log and zipped files before deletion (default = 90 days)
    • The script will look for all log files with .log and .zip extension, older than "daysdel" days, and will delete them (if possible). The script will:
      • delete all zipped files older than "daysdel" days in case they have been zipped thanks to the "daysarc" parameter above
      • delete all log files older than "daysdel" days in case they have not been zipped (either too old, unzipped manually or if version of PowerShell is below 5.1)
    • Value must be greater than "daysarc". If this is not the case, the script will:
      • display a warning message,
      • force the value to be "daysarc + 7" and continue
  • -install = installation mode as a scheduled job (see chapter "Scheduled task mode583663691" below)
• Others:
  • -ini <file> = optional configuration file (see below) containing customized values for the retention parameters (keep, daysarc, daysdel). Please note if retention parameters are passed, they will overwrite the file content.
  • -help = display usage information
