Configure Database Security to automatically archive alerts in a specific location and at preset intervals.
On the System page, click the Archives tab.
Click Settings and in the Archive Folder Path field, set the location where the archived files are to be stored.
Note
By default Auto archive by number of alerts, is enabled and alerts are archived when the number of alerts exceeds 10,000 (by default the 30,000 oldest alerts are archived).
To disable automatic archiving (not recommended), deselect the Auto Archive Enabled checkbox.
Select the Auto archive by time and schedule the archiving process as follows:
To schedule archiving at hourly intervals, select by hours, then set the interval between each archive.
To schedule daily archiving, select by day, then select the day of the week and time period for archiving to take place.
To schedule monthly archiving, select by month every, then set the number of months between each archive and the time period.
To run the archive process once, select Run Only Once. After executing, the scheduler property is deleted.
Enter the age of alerts to be archived in the Archive Alerts older than fields, by setting the number and time unit (days, weeks, months).
Select Enable Archive RuleAction to archive alerts directly instead of storing the alerts in the database.
From the Archive RuleAction Rolling Period drop-down list, select the rolling period as DAY or HOUR.
Click Save.
