Configure how long your log messages need to be kept in Drupal

By default Drupal discards your log entries older then one week. This is done to keep your database small and sharp by throwing out irrelevant log messages.

But sometimes you just want your log messages to be discarded at all. You can override Drupal's default behaviour by altering a setting in the administration section.

Go to Administer > Site configuration > Error reporting (admin/settings/error-reporting).

You will find a setting there saying 'Discard log entries older than'. Well, that was what we were looking for :)
