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
Ensure you have the following
privileges:
- View role properties
- Modify role properties
What you should know
The plugin role database stores the following:
- Events that occur in the OnGuard system (timestamp of the event being raised, entities
attached to the event, etc.)
- Active alarm triggers and those pending acknowledgment.
The Directory database stores the plugin configuration and related entity
types.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Plugins task.
-
Select the OnGuard plugin role from the entity browser and
click the Resources tab.
-
Click Cleanup (),
choose how long to keep events and when to delete old data, and then click
OK.
NOTE: By default, the
Keep data setting is set to 30 days and the
Clean each setting is set to
custom and
has no clean up day specified. This means that data will never be cleaned up unless you
select a day on which it will occur.
-
Click Backup/Restore (), choose the location for backup files, enable
automatic backups at least once per week, and then click
OK.
-
Click Apply.
