# Maintenance (logs, logs cleanup, upgrade, and update)

Maintenance in Devolutions Server covers managing logs, cleaning up historical data, and applying software updates in a controlled way. Log retention and cleanup jobs keep the database responsive while preserving the audit trail required by your policies.

Regularly reviewing maintenance reports, pruning obsolete entries, and following the documented upgrade procedures reduces downtime and surprises during version changes. A best practice is to schedule backups and cleanup tasks, test upgrades in a staging environment linked to a copy of production data, and document each change in the system’s own vaults.
