Manage Event Retention

By default, events are retained for 30 days in the Event Manager database. You can edit the number of days that events are retained.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the file:

   /opt/CA/PerformanceCenter/EM/webapps/EventManager/WEB-INF/em.properties
   

2. Set the Event.Retention value to the number of days you want events to be retained in the database. Save your changes.
3. Stop the Event Manager service using the command line:

   service caperfcenter_eventmanager stop
   

4. Restart the Event Manager service using the command line:

   service caperfcenter_eventmanager start
   

   The new event retention value becomes effective.

Note: Depending on the platform the Event Manager is running on, you can use other methods to stop and start the Event Manager.
