ApsaraDB for MongoDB:Modify the retention period for audit logs

Precautions

• The specified retention period is valid for all instances in the region of the current instance. We recommend that you evaluate the retention period of audit logs for all instances in the same region before you set the parameter.
• Audit logs are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis based on the storage usage and log retention period. To prevent high costs, we recommend that you set the shortest period that meets your business requirements.
