You can modify the DB log-rotate value from the default of 8 days to 30, this should also cover for /var/log/asm and ASM logs in GUI. Note that there are no guarantees you will always have the backlog for 30 days. If you run out of disk space in /var/log folder, the actual number of days for which you will have the logs will be less.

Increasing log-age value

tmsh modify sys db logrotate.logage value 30
tmsh save sys config

If you would like to increase the disk space for /var/log folder, you can also do it from TMSH; that procedure (Extending disk space for increased logging) is documented in this article: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/900/sol14952.htmlproc3

Thank you Hannes Rapp! Sorry for late reply. I think, as recommended, and with my auditing plan, it's better that I should not enable "send_content_events". I'm looking for the solution with new behavior to extend asm local storage, before I implement remote logging plan. Thank you again. Loan.
