Configure Action Alert Retention

You can control how many action alerts are saved by the report server, and how long they are retained.

To configure action alert retention

  1. Click the Administration tab, and then click the Services subtab.

    The Service List appears.

  2. Click Report Server for the global setting or the Report Server host for the local setting.

    The Report Server configuration pane appears.

  3. Enter a value in the Maximum Action Alerts entry field. Any Alerts above this threshold are deleted, oldest first.
  4. Enter a number of days in the Action Alert Retention entry field, after which alerts are deleted.

    Note: Action Alerts are deleted whenever either threshold is exceeded.

  5. Click Save.
