Event System Configuration 363
The event ageing process can only run overnight if 3Com Network
Director is running overnight. If you close 3Com Network Director every
evening then the event ageing process will only ever be run if you click
OK in the Ageing dialog box. See “
Ageing Dialog Box” on page 363.
Ageing Dialog Box
The event ageing process is controlled from within the Ageing dialog box,
which is launched by selecting Settings > Ageing:
Figure 172 Ageing Dialog Box
By default the Ageing process is configured to store a maximum of 5000
events for a maximum of 30 days. The Ageing dialog box allows you to:
■ Disable the event ageing process completely, by selecting Keep events
indefinitely. If you select this option then events will never be
permanently removed from the events database.
■ Selectively disable the ageing of events by number of days or by
number of events by unchecking the Maximum number of days: or
Maximum number of events: options respectively.
■ If you disable one of these options then events will only be
permanently deleted if they exceed the limit set for the other option.
