Reduce Long Term Log Lifespan

By default, Pi-hole keeps long term DNS logs for 365 days. This lifespan can be changed by altering the MAXDBDAYS variable in /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf

1. To reduce the log lifespan, run the following commands in a terminal window
   # edit pihole-FTD.conf
   sudo nano /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf
2. Add or edit MAXDBDAYS value in the configuration file as needed
3. Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes
4. Continue with the following command
   # restart pihole-FTL server
   sudo systemctl restart pihole-FTL
5. After restarting the service the new logs lifespan will be active
