Event and Alert Aging / Retention Configuration

[umar5]

Hi, 

Can someone please help me understand where event and alert aging is configured to clean up old events and alerts? Also, what is the out-of-the-box retention period for events and alerts?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @umar5 ,

The clean up of old events and alerts and all other clean ups are configured in the "sys_auto_flush" table. And coming to retention period of alerts is 90 days and events is 7 days 

Hope this helps you, Please do mark it as helpful . And accept the solution.

Hi @umar5 , 

For events(i.e sysevent) as i said in my previous reply it only 7 days , so you can configure it by going to the "sys_auto_flush" table and there in that the field "Age in second" Enter the number of days in seconds you want to make the data stay . 

See the image and make use of it.

Hope this helps you, Please do mark it as helpful . And accept the solution.
