Just store what logs you need on a ram drive. The logs will be gone the instant the server shuts down and there is no way to recover them.

Downsides include : if any intrusion happens on the server, red team just needs to reboot it to wipe evidence.

If they have the root access typically needed to reboot a server^1^ they could also just wipe the logs without rebooting.

^1^: GUIs typically have a way to reboot without such privileges, but those are typically not installed on machines just used as servers.
