Configuration
Database Screen
The Database screen is only displayed for users who have administrator rights. The Database
screen enables you to set the number of records and days to which system and device logs are
limited and change the password for the system database.
To configure the log settings:
1. Select the log interval from the Log Interval dropdown box for Device Data logs. The log
interval is the amount of time that elapses before the latest device logs are transferred to
the database. For example, if the log interval is set to 20 minutes, device logs are
transferred to the database every 20 minutes.
2. Configure the number of records that will be stored in the database for device data logs
and system event logs. Select the Unlimited radio button in the Record Count column to
keep records in the database as long as there is available space on the Management
Server hard drive. Select the Limit To radio button, and enter a value to limit the number
of records kept in the database. The maximum limit is determined by available disk
space.
NOTE: When the Management Server begins to run out of disk space or the configured limit of
records is reached, the Management Server overwrites the oldest records in the database.
3. Configure the length of time records that will be stored in the database for device data
logs and system event logs. Select the Unlimited radio button in the Log History column
to keep records in the database as long as there is available space on the Management
Server hard drive. Select the Limit To radio button, and enter the number of days that
records are kept in the database before being overwritten.
NOTE: When the Management Server begins to run out of disk space or the configured limit of
records is reached, the Management Server overwrites the oldest records in the database.
NOTE: If the record count is set too low, the database will not accumulate 30 days of data.
4. Click Apply to accept the information that has been entered, or click Undo Changes to
reject all changes and keep the screen open.
