account.

.Application server logs and login audit logs are rotated on a daily basis (GMT) and the date is appended at the end of the file name. Unless otherwise indicated in customer's service agreement logs can be compressed after 6 months, and can be deleted after 1 year except for login-audit logs which are retained for 3 years.
Process Archives are stored in the same server hosting a customer site. Customers who want to unarchive can do so leveraging some of the available shared components in MyAppian or can work with Appian Technical Support to unarchive using the available scripts to manage process archives.
Unless otherwise indicated in customer's service agreement, process archives can be compressed after 6 months, and can be deleted after 1 year. Once compressed, customers must request the process archives from Appian Technical Support.
Appian Cloud utilizes standard configuration settings that are the default for Appian. Designers are required to design and tune their applications to be within standard configuration settings.
These standard configuration settings have been set based on data collected throughout time from all Appian deployments and have been set to prefer the stability and performance of the system.
Designers are required to design their applications to work within those specifications rather than requesting custom settings to circumvent sub optimal design patterns or poor performing system integrations.
The only changes to settings allowed are those that are exposed via the web browser via the Admin Console.
