In `pt-variable-advisor`:

> WARN expire\_logs\_days: Binary logs are enabled, but automatic purging is not enabled. If you do not purge binary logs, your disk will fill up.

`expire_logs_days` is deprecated, and this is what we should use now:

`binlog_expire_logs_seconds = 604800`

However, the warning still appears, because I’m not setting `expire_logs_days`.

I believe this should be updated.

Thanks!!
