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
  • Administration > Plugins

What you should know

  • The Directory database stores the plugin configuration and related entity types.
  • The plugin role database stores the events and the entity configuration.
  • The plugin role database contains plugin properties, related entities, events, and alarms associated with SALTO Virtual Network.
  • It is a best practice to schedule all database maintenance during non-peak hours.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Plugins task.
  2. Select the SALTO Virtual Network plugin role from the entity browser and click the Resources tab.
  3. Click Cleanup (), choose how long to keep events and when to delete old data, and then click OK.
    Database cleanup window with one weekday selected.
    NOTE: By default, Salto events is set to 90 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.
