Hi All,

I am looking at the possibility of automating audit log deletion in my dynamics organization. I am particularly looking at scheduling audit log deletion such that I can set retention on audit logs such that it automatically deletes the logs once the retention period is met.

Please suggestions are welcomed.

Thank You

Asabix

Hi Asabix,

I am afraid that we cannot delete the audit log automatically for online CRM environments.

CRM audit log will have a partition every three months. You can check and delete them regularly through Settings > Auditing > Audit Log Management. You are able to manage through the deletion of audit logs in this spot.

Thank You Yiming.

I know OOTB we cannot automatically delete audit logs. I was hoping in this new world of power platform, if we could use MS flow to schedule a reoccuring job that will audit logs to be deleted based on set trigger and conditions.

Thank You

Hi Asabix,

Did you ever end up creating a MS flow to auto-delete logs? If so, would you be able to share the steps you took to make this work?

Thank you!

Hi,

According to wave 1 2021. Audit logs will be automatically deleted per the retention period. Please refer to docs:
