Customize Data Rollover Settings
You can enable and configure vRealize Automation data rollover settings to control how your system
retains, archives, or deletes legacy data.
Use the data rollover feature to configure the maximum number of days for vRealize Automation to retain
data in the IaaS SQL Server database before archiving or deleting it. By default, this feature is disabled.
Configure data rollover settings on the vRealize Automation Global Settings page. When enabled, this
feature queries and removes data from the following SQL Server database tables:
n
UserLog
n
Audit
n
CategoryLog
n
VirtualMachineHistory
n
VirtualMachineHistoryProp
n
AuditLogItems
n
AuditLogItemsProperties
n
TrackingLogItems
n
WorkflowHistoryInstances
n
WorkflowHistoryResults
If you set DataRolloverIsArchiveEnabled to True, archive versions of the tables are created in the dbo
schema. For example, the archive version of UserLog would be UserLogArchive, and the archive
version of VirtualMachineHistory would be VirtualMachineHistoryArchive.
When enabled, the data rollover feature runs once a day at a predetermined time of 3 a.m. according to
the vRealize Automation appliance time zone configuration. Using the DataRollover
MaximumAgeInDays setting, you can set the maximum number of days that you want to retain the data.
If DataRollover IsArchiveEnabled is set to True, data older than that specified in the DataRollover
MaximumAgeInDays is moved to the archive tables. If DataRollover IsArchiveEnabled is set to False,
data is permanently deleted and no data archiving occurs. Deleted data is not recoverable.
Note Consider existing system data and the potential impact on system performance before enabling
data rollover. For example, if you enable this feature one year after vRealize Automation began running in
your environment, verify that you have set the value of DataRollover MaximumAgeInDays to 300 or
greater to ensure that enabling data rollover feature does not impact system performance.
