That depends.  Ask your own legal staff.  There's two basic answers:

1) You keep these records for 18 months or 3 years or something like that,
in case an LEO shows up with a subpoena, so you can comply.

2) You ditch those records after a week or so, or whatever length of time
you actually need them for diagnosing network failures caused by a rogue
client, etc, and then properly digitally shred them, so when the LEO shows
up with the subpoena, you can legitimately claim you have no clue and
no record.
