Purge Logging Analytics logs

Is your tenant generating unexpected costs for Logging Analytics? Here is a possible solution.

In the metrics you can see that as time progresses the storage used by Logging Analytics only increases.

The explanation is that you are only generating logs, without deleting the old ones. Here is how you can create a Logging Analytics log purging policy:

Navigate to Logging Analytics / Administration / Storage

Here you can create a policy like this, which will purge the logs with more than 1 month old (for example):

Also you can delete manually the Logging Analytics logs clicking the following button:

DOUG 24

I recently had the pleasure of attending DOUG 24 in beautiful Copenhagen, Denmark. The event was a true success, both in terms of content and organization. The team behind the event did an excellent job, ensuring everything flowed smoothly from start to finish, with engaging sessions that kept the audience captivated. The talks were divided into two tracks, one focused on DB and the other on Developer. Here’s a brief overview of these interesting sessions: The Future of Data, AI, and Application Development - Connor McDonald Connor kicked off the event with a deep dive into the latest innovations from Oracle, particularly around Oracle Database 23ai. His session showcased how Cloud, AI, and data processing are evolving, offering a glimpse into the future of application development and data management.

Infrastructure as Code

In some of the previous posts we have seen how to deploy some resources with Terraform. Terraform is an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tool that allows to manage, version and maintain your infrastructure programmatically in OCI. But... What is Infrastructure as Code? So, let's start with the concept of Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Infrastructure as Code, abbreviated as IaC, allows us to manage and provision infrastructure through code, rather than manual processes . This approach offers numerous advantages: The first advantage is deployment automation . You won't need to manually prepare or manage operating systems, servers, storage, or any other components. Everything becomes automated. Another benefit is the speed of implementation and deployment due to this automation. It also reduces the risk of errors by utilizing templates for deployments and eliminating manual processes. Lastly, using IaC ensures consistent environment crea...

Object Storage

Object Storage in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a cloud-based service that lets you store and access any kind of digital file—like photos, videos, documents, or backups—easily and securely. Instead of using folders like on your computer, it organizes everything in containers called “buckets,” where each file is an “object.” It’s designed to handle large amounts of data, so you don’t have to worry about running out of space, and your files are safely stored and always available when you need them. In OCI Object Storage, there are different storage tiers depending on how often you need to access your files: The Standard tier is for data you use regularly—it's fast and always ready. The Archive tier is for files you don’t need very often, like old backups or logs; it’s much cheaper, but it takes a few hours to access the data when you need it. You can move files between these tiers to save money using something called lifecycle policies —these are simple rules...
