• The Provisioning Job 'Clean API Audit Log Company Job' is running automatically every day.

 

• If the OData audit log or SFAPI audit log exceeds one million on the first run, the job will run twice on the same day.

• Now the API audit logs will be purged if any of these conditions are met:

• • The maximum log count is exceeded. In this case the older logs get purged first.
  • A log is more than 90 days old.

• By default, the maximum log count for SFAPI is 500,000.

• For OData API, the maximum log count follows the 'OData API Audit Log Setting' configuration in Provisioning.”.

 

 

Please note that the background cleanup logic is roughly 10,000 by 10,000 for cleanup, the number of cleanups fluctuates above and below 10% of the threshold.
