#### Response Body

`systemConfiguration.auditLogConfiguration.delete.enabled`Boolean

Whether or not FusionAuth should delete the Audit Log based upon this configuration. When `true` the **auditLogConfiguration.delete.numberOfDaysToRetain** will be used to identify audit logs that are eligible for deletion. When this value is set to `false` audit logs will be preserved forever.

`systemConfiguration.auditLogConfiguration.delete.numberOfDaysToRetain`Integer

The number of days to retain the Audit Log.

`systemConfiguration.corsConfiguration.allowCredentials`Boolean

The `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials` response header values as described by [MDN Access-Control-Allow-Credentials](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Allow-Credentials).

`systemConfiguration.corsConfiguration.allowedHeaders`Array<String>

The `Access-Control-Allow-Headers` response header values as described by [MDN Access-Control-Allow-Headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Allow-Headers).

`systemConfiguration.corsConfiguration.allowedMethods`Array<String>

The `Access-Control-Allow-Methods` response header values as described by [MDN Access-Control-Allow-Methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Allow-Methods).

`systemConfiguration.corsConfiguration.allowedOrigins`Array<String>

The `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header values as described by [MDN Access-Control-Allow-Origin](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Allow-Origin). If the wildcard `*` is specified, no additional domains may be specified.

`systemConfiguration.corsConfiguration.debug`Boolean

Whether or not FusionAuth will log debug messages to the event log. This is primarily useful for identifying why the FusionAuth CORS filter is rejecting a request and returning an HTTP response status code of `403`.

`systemConfiguration.corsConfiguration.enabled`Boolean

Whether the FusionAuth CORS filter will process requests made to FusionAuth.

`systemConfiguration.corsConfiguration.exposedHeaders`Array<String>

The `Access-Control-Expose-Headers` response header values as described by [MDN Access-Control-Expose-Headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Expose-Headers).

`systemConfiguration.corsConfiguration.preflightMaxAgeInSeconds`Integer

The `Access-Control-Max-Age` response header values as described by [MDN Access-Control-Max-Age](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Max-Age).

`systemConfiguration.data`Object

An object that can hold any information about the System that should be persisted.

`systemConfiguration.eventLogConfiguration.numberToRetain`Integer

The number of events to retain. Once the number of event logs exceeds this configured value they will be deleted starting with the oldest event logs.

`systemConfiguration.loginRecordConfiguration.delete.enabled`Boolean

Whether or not FusionAuth should delete the login records based upon this configuration. When `true` the **loginRecordConfiguration.delete.numberOfDaysToRetain** will be used to identify login records that are eligible for deletion. When this value is set to `false` login records will be preserved forever.

`systemConfiguration.loginRecordConfiguration.delete.numberOfDaysToRetain`Integer

The number of days to retain login records.

`systemConfiguration.reportTimezone`String

The [time zone](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#time-zone) used to adjust the stored UTC time when generating reports. Since reports are usually rolled up hourly, this timezone will be used for demarcating the hours.

For example:

> `America/Denver` or `US/Mountain`

`systemConfiguration.trustedProxyConfiguration.trustPolicy`StringAvailable since 1.49.0

This setting is used to resolve the client IP address for use in logging, webhooks, and IP-based access control when an `X-Forwarded-For` header is provided. Because proxies are free to rewrite the `X-Forwarded-For` header, an untrusted proxy could write a value that allowed it to bypass IP-based ACLs, or cause an incorrect IP address to be logged or sent to a webhook.

Valid values are:

*   `All`: Consider all proxies in an `X-Forwarded-For` header to be trusted, and use the first address in the `X-Forwarded-For` header as the resolved address. This is less secure, and is provided for backwards compatibility.
*   `OnlyConfigured`: Only trust proxies named in the `systemConfiguration.trustedProxyConfiguration.trusted` list. In this case, the first untrusted proxy found will be used as the client IP address.

`systemConfiguration.trustedProxyConfiguration.trusted`Array<String>Available since 1.49.0

An array of IP addresses, representing the set of trusted upstream proxies.

`systemConfiguration.uiConfiguration.headerColor`String

A hexadecimal color to override the default menu color in the user interface.

`systemConfiguration.uiConfiguration.logoURL`String

A URL of a logo to override the default FusionAuth logo in the user interface.

`systemConfiguration.uiConfiguration.menuFontColor`String

A hexadecimal color to override the default menu font color in the user interface.

`systemConfiguration.usageDataConfiguration.enabled`BooleanAvailable since 1.55.0

Whether or not FusionAuth collects and sends usage data to improve the product.

`systemConfiguration.webhookEventLogConfiguration.enabled`BooleanAvailable since 1.57.0

Whether or not FusionAuth should create Webhook Event Logs. When `true` FusionAuth will create an event log for each webhook event and an attempt log for each attempt at sending the event to a webhook.

`systemConfiguration.webhookEventLogConfiguration.delete.enabled`BooleanAvailable since 1.53.0

Whether or not FusionAuth should delete Webhook Event Logs based upon this configuration. When `true` the **webhookEventLogConfiguration.delete.numberOfDaysToRetain** will be used to identify webhook event logs that are eligible for deletion. When this value is set to `false` webhook event logs will be preserved forever.

`systemConfiguration.webhookEventLogConfiguration.delete.numberOfDaysToRetain`IntegerAvailable since 1.53.0

The number of days to retain Webhook Event Logs.
