information itself is a liability. best to have a policy of 'we keep no IPs in logs, so are happy to hand over whatever'.. dump data the moment you dont require it

    Just store what logs you need on a ram drive. The logs will be gone the instant the server shuts down and there is no way to recover them.

    Downsides include : if any intrusion happens on the server, red team just needs to reboot it to wipe evidence.

    If they have the root access typically needed to reboot a server^1^ they could also just wipe the logs without rebooting.

    ^1^: GUIs typically have a way to reboot without such privileges, but those are typically not installed on machines just used as servers.
