My personal thought is that the more user information you log and store, the more responsibility IT has should an issue arise. After all, "it was in your logs, why didn't you catch it and do something about it"
The longer you keep logs, the more you open yourself up to discovery requests should a suit or other legal action arise. The more data to go through, the more man hours it takes to do so. I'm not saying to dump your logs as fast as possible, but you need to keep discovery in mind as well as why you need the logs in the first place (troubleshooting, monitoring, etc). You should sit down with your campus lawyer(s) and discuss this with them as well as asking for advice here. They may have some important input to the process that you will need to keep in mind as you work this out. -- Mike Iglesias Email: iglesias () uci edu University of California, Irvine phone: 949-824-6926 Office of Information Technology FAX: 949-824-2270
