The --audit-log-maxage argument is not set appropriately

Description

Retain the logs for at least 30 days or as appropriate. Retaining logs for at least 30 days ensures that you can go back in time and investigate or correlate any events. Set your audit log retention period to 30 days or as per your business requirements.

Fix - Buildtime
