Re: Log retention query

Good afternoon Peter,

I had the exact same query as Junwang proposed.

I can tell from @Laurenz's  response above we have the names of the logs
customised to posgtres-%d-%m-%y. Removing the logs after a week or month
does not since our retention policy is 6 months.

The cron job was set from root and it did not remove the logs/
