You should set the
log.retention.msat-1which will apply no time limit. More info log.retention.msTaking into account that the
log.retention.bytesis-1by default, you should have retention "forever" and not deleting on size or time.Of course, it could be dangerous because your disk could be run out of space if log segments are not deleted periodically and you could have a not working broker soon (even not able to start).
