Management of stored event logs requires careful handling of backups and restored files. The event log store service configuration provides you with a central place to configure and tune internal database sizes, retention, and to set auto archive options. CA Enterprise Log Manager provides the following scripts to help with these tasks:
Note: Use of these scripts assumes that you have established non-interactive authentication between the two servers using RSA keys.
The backup and restore scripts use the LMArchive utility to facilitate copying warm databases to or from remote hosts. The scripts automatically update the appropriate catalog files when the tasks finish. You can copy to remote servers or to other CA Enterprise Log Manager servers. If the remote host to which you send files is a CA Enterprise Log Manager server, the scripts automatically update the catalog files on the receiving server as well. The scripts also delete the archive files from the local machine to avoid duplication in federated reports. This ensures that data is available for query and reporting. Off-system storage is called cold storage. You can restore files moved to cold storage for queries and reporting.
The monitor script runs the backup script automatically using the settings you specify in the auto archive portion of the event log store service configuration.
