It is important to protect your data by scheduling regular database backups. Also, regularly clean your database to remove old data so that the database does not grow beyond its capacity. If the database is full, your integration might stop working.
Before you begin
- View role properties
- Modify role properties
- Administration > Plugins
What you should know
- The Plugin database stores the following:
- Events that occur in the system (timestamp of the event being raised, entities attached to the event, and so son).
- Active alarm triggers and those pending acknowledgment.
- The Directory database stores the plugin configuration and related entity types.
- It is a best practice to schedule all database maintenance during non-peak hours.
Procedure
-
Click Cleanup (
), choose how long to
keep events and when to delete old data, and then click
OK.
NOTE: By default, the For (keep data) setting is set to 90 days and the Clean each setting is set to Custom and no cleanup day is specified. Select the days on which the cleanup should take place. Otherwise, the cleanup will not run.
-
Click Backup/Restore (
), choose the location for backup files, enable
automatic backups at least once per week, and then click
OK.
