Delete old log files with SAS Environment Manager in SAS VIYA 3.5

Hi,

is it possible to delete log files older than x days by means SAS Environment Manager or other SAS applications in SAS VIYA 3.5 instead to use O.S. script?

Thank you.

I think Viya automatically zips the log files based on a retention period which is kept for 30 days before deleting.

Ok and how can I set a different retention (the default is 30 days)?

Can I delete also zip file older then x days? Thank you.

Ok and how can I set a different retention (the default is 30 days)?

I see in my environment:

I don't see the 30 days default, what is the properties about the log retention?

I need to delete log files on the file systems (and zip files) older then x days.

Thank you.
