Quarantine using the local database

Specify repository settings to quarantine items detected by TSME to a PostgreSQL database on the local TSME server.

From the product's user interface, click Settings & Diagnostics → Detected Items.
The Detected Items page appears.

From the Local Database section, you can use:

Option definitions

Option	Definition
Specify location of database	To enable the Database location for storing the quarantined items detected by TSME .
Database location	To specify the database location path where items detected by TSME can be stored. You can select: <Install Folder> — To create the database sub-folders under the TSME installation directory. <System Drive> — To create the database sub-folders under the `C:\Windows\system32` directory. <Program Files> — To create the database sub-folders under the Windows `C:\Program Files (x86)` directory. <Windows Folder> — To create the database sub-folders under the `C:\Windows` directory. <Data Folder> — To create the database sub-folders under the `C:\ProgramData\` directory. <Full Path> — To store the TSME database in the complete path specified. Note Specify the sub-folder path in the field next to the drop-down list. The default sub-folder path specified is: `McAfee\MSME\Data\`
Maximum item size (MB)	To specify the maximum size of a quarantined item that can be stored in the database. You can specify a value from 1 to 999, where the default value is 100.
Maximum query size (records)	To specify the maximum number of records or quarantined items you can query from the Detected Items page. You can specify a value from 1 to 20000, where the default value is 1000.
Maximum item age (days)	To specify the maximum number of days an item will be stored in the local quarantine database, before being marked for deletion. You can specify a value from 1 to 365, where the default value is 30.
Disk size check interval (Minute)	To specify how often TSME should check for the available disk space. You can specify a value from 6 to 2880, where the default value is 6.
Disk space threshold (MB)	To specify the threshold value at which a low disk space warning notification should be sent to the administrator. You can specify a value from 1 to 512000, where the default value is 2048. Note Make sure that Database diskspace goes below the threshold under Settings & Diagnostics → Notifications → Product Health Alerts → Notify when is enabled.
Purge of old items frequency	To specify how frequently old items that are marked for deletion are deleted from the TSME database. The default value is set to Monthly.
Optimization frequency	To recover the disk space taken up by deleted database records. Based on the value set under Maximum item age (days), old records will be deleted if you have scheduled a purge task. After deleting these old records, TSME will still use the disk space specified under Disk space threshold (MB) field, even if the quarantine database has not reached the size limit. To optimize and shrink the database, schedule an optimization task. The default value is set to Monthly. Note Always schedule an optimization task a few hours after you perform the purge task.
Edit Schedule	To modify the schedule of the purge or optimization task. Click Save after modifying the schedule.

Click Apply to save the settings.

You have now successfully configured your TSME server to start quarantining detected items on to the local database.
