Hi guys

 

Are there any recommendation on the number of seconds that you can set on the "Auto Flush" especially for the sys_log tabel?

 

Right now its 90 days - don't even know if that it OOTB.

 

Thanks in advance

Hello @S_renPriisholm 

 

  1. Open the Auto Flush [sys_auto_flush] table by typing sys_auto_flush.list in the filter navigator and select New.
  2. Fill in the fields on the form.
    Auto Flush form
    Field Description`
    Tablename The name of the target table.
    Matchfield The Date/Time field in the target table that is used to monitor duration. Defaults to sys_created_on, which deletes records based on the amount of time since their creation date.
    Age in seconds The amount of time the system waits before deleting records. When the Matchfield value becomes older than the Age in seconds, the record is deleted.
    Active Option to activate or deactivate table cleaning for this table.
    Application The application scope to which this table cleaner job applies.
    Clean peripheral If selected, related records in these peripheral tables are also deleted:
    • Attachment [sys_attachment] table
    • Attachment Document [sys_attachment_doc] table
    • Attachment Document V2 [sys_attachment_doc_v2] table
    • Journal Entry [sys_journal_field] table
    If cleared, the system deletes records from the target table, but not any related attachment or journal records in these tables.
    Clean audit If selected, related records in these audit tables are also deleted:
    • Sys Audit [sys_audit] table
    • Audit Relationship Change [sys_audit_relation] table

    Note that the audit records that are created by table cleaner in the Audit Deleted Record [sys_audit_delete] table are preserved.

    If cleared, the system deletes records from the target table, but not any related audit records in these tables.

    Cascade delete If selected, this option deletes all matching records plus any records referring to them. If cleared, the system deletes matching records, but not records referring to them.
    Conditions Condition builder for specifying filter conditions that define the records to be removed.
  3. Select Submit.
 

Plz mark my solution as Accept, If you find it helpful.

Hi Samaksh


I know where to find the auto flush 😀 - I'm asking about recommendation / best practices on the seconds for sys_log.

HI,

Im not sure about the recommendation honestly but I guess 90 days is OOB for log

Saw the same here -> Demystifying table rotation, extension, and table ... - ServiceNow Community
