I could not find in Airflow docs how to set up the retension policy I need. At the moment, we keep all airflow logs forever on our servers which is not the best way to go.
I wish to create global logs configurations for all the different logs I have.
How and where do I configure:
I ran into the same situation yesterday, the solution for me was to use a DAG that handles all the log cleanup and schedule it as any other DAG.
Check this repo, you will find a step-by-step guide on how to set it up. Basically what you will achieve is to delete files located on airflow-home/log/ and airflow-home/log/scheduler based on a given period defined on a Variable. The DAG dynamically creates one task for each directory targeted for deletion based on your previous definition.
In my case, the only modification I made to the original DAG was to allow deletion only to the scheduler folder by replacing the initial value of DIRECTORIES_TO_DELETE. All credits to the creators! works very well out of the box, and it's easy to customize.
