The events stored in the Current Event Archive are automatically moved to the History Event
Archive based on the following parameters, which ever occurs first:
• The events are older than 10 days.
• The page size of the Current Event Archive is greater than 100.
• Events older than 365 days are purged from the History Event Archive. This results in a
