IBM does have a Redbook that you're looking for. Search ibm.com on the title or click this link to download the PDF.

I believe that Redbook is a combination of several previously internal-only documents (the "top secret" ones).

Default log purge setting is "up to last run" to keep logs as small as possible. Override where necessary, but reset to this value when finished testing.

I don't find this option in the RED BOOK too. Where i have set or change this settings? in Director ?

Changes made in Administrator will only affect jobs created subsequently.

To change existing jobs, use Job > Clear Log in Director client.

To set auto-purge project wide to existing jobs, export all the jobs and import with overwrite.

That recreates the jobs and applies the setting to each job upon import.
