Manage a Logstore

Create a Logstore

1. Log on to the Log Service console.
2. In the Projects section, click the name of the project that you want to view.
3. On the Log Storage > Logstores tab, click the + icon.
4. In the Create Logstore panel, configure the following parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   Logstore Name	The name of the Logstore. The name must be unique in the project to which the Logstore belongs. After the Logstore is created, you cannot change its name.
   WebTracking	If you turn on WebTracking, you can collect data from HTML, HTML5, iOS, or Android platforms to Log Service by using the web tracking feature. For more information, see Use web tracking to collect logs.
   Permanent Storage	If you turn on Permanent Storage, Log Service permanently stores the collected logs. Note You can call an API operation to query the data retention period. If the value is 3650, the logs are permanently stored.
   Data Retention Period	The retention period of logs in the Logstore. Valid values: 1 to 3000. Unit: days. When logs are stored for a period that exceeds the value of this parameter, the logs are automatically deleted. You can configure the Data Retention Period parameter only if you do not turn on Permanent Storage. Note If you shorten the data retention period, Log Service deletes all expired logs within 1 hour. The data volume that is displayed for Storage Size(Log) on the homepage of the Log Service console is updated the next day. For example, if you change the value of the Data Retention Period parameter from 5 to 1, Log Service deletes the logs of the previous four days within 1 hour.
   Shards	The number of shards. Log Service provides shards that allow you to read and write data. Each shard supports a write speed of 5 MB/s, 500 write operations per second, a read speed of 10 MB/s, and 100 read operations per second. You can create up to 10 shards in each Logstore. You can create up to 200 shards in each project. For more information, see Shard.
   Automatic Sharding	If you turn on Automatic Sharding, Log Service increases the number of shards when the existing shards cannot accommodate the data that is written. For more information, see Manage shards.
   Maximum Shards	If you turn on Automatic Sharding, you must configure this parameter to specify the maximum number of shards that can be created. Maximum value: 64.
   Log Public IP	If you turn on Log Public IP, Log Service adds the following information to the Tag field of the collected logs: __client_ip__: the public IP address of the log source. __receive_time__: the time when Log Service receives the log. The value is a UNIX timestamp representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Thursday, January 1, 1970.
