Configure Execution History Retention Settings

About This Task

You can configure the execution history settings to specify the time for which execution history logs of policies must be retained in the GE Digital APM database. You can configure the settings to retain the logs either for indefinite period or for a specific duration. By default, the logs are configured to be retained for indefinite period. If you configure the settings to retain the logs for a specific duration, an automated job deletes the logs that have been retained in the database for more than the specified duration. You can specify the interval at which the job must run to delete the logs.

Note:
  • The execution history retention settings are not specific to a policy and are applicable for all policies designed using the Policy Designer module.
  • If a policy has been executed only once, the execution history is retained in the database even if it exceeds the specified retention duration.
  • The most recent execution history of each instance associated with a policy is retained in the database even if it exceeds the specified retention duration.

This topic describes how to configure the settings to retain the execution history logs of policies for a specific duration in the database.

Procedure

  1. Access the Policy Admin page.
  2. In the Execution History Settings workspace, in the Retention Period section, select Duration.
    The Duration and Every fields appear.
  3. In the Duration box, enter the duration for which you want to retain the execution history logs in the database.
  4. In the Every box, enter the time interval at which the automated job must run to delete the execution history logs from the database.
    By default, the time interval that you enter is defined in hours. However, you can select the required unit from the drop-down list box to specify the interval in other units of time.
  5. Select Save.
    The execution history settings are configured for the Policy Designer module.
