Currently the FME Flow logfile cleanup is a one-size fits all setting. So all job logs older than the interval that’s set get deleted.

I would like to propose a more fine-grained control, so on a per-workspace level be able to override that setting. Let’s say for example we have it set to 7 days, but have some jobs that run monthly. It could be beneficial to be able to see the log from the previous run if the current run fails. 

And on the other hand, if we have jobs that run many (say hundreds), I see limited value in being able to see one from a week ago, so I may want to shorten that retention period to say 1-2 days.

After initially installing Flow, there should be a pop up asking the Admin whether they are happy with the default 1 week job log storage. I generally set it myself to 4-5 weeks to cover a months worth of job runs
