The amount of storage you have is a function of the size of your /var/log partition on your appliance/VM.

Log retention period is a function of disk space, not necessarily time (though you can age log indexes based on # of days).

Logs can be rotated on either a size basis (up to 2GB) or time basis (note in R80.x this happens at midnight daily).

Both are configured here:

Logs are stored in $FWDIR/log on Management or Log server (depending on your configuration) and can be transferred to another system with standard Linux file transfer tools.
