List of Global Settings
The global seings determine how vRealize Operations Manager retains data, keeps connection sessions
open, and other seings. These are system seings that aect all users.
Table 3‑27. Global Setting Default Values and Descriptions
Setting
Default
Value Description
Action History 90 days Number of days to retain the recent task data for actions.
The data is purged from the system after the specied number
of days.
Deleted Objects 360 hours Number of hours to retain objects that are deleted from an
adapter data source or server before deleting them from
vRealize Operations Manager.
An object deleted from an adapter data source might be
identied by vRealize Operations Manager as not existing and
vRealize Operations Manager can no longer collect data about
the object. Whether vRealize Operations Manager identies
deleted objects as not existing depends the adapter. This feature
is not implemented in some adapters.
For example, if the retention time is 360 hour and a virtual
machine is deleted from a vCenter Server instance, the virtual
machine remains as an object in vRealize Operations Manager
for 15 days before it is deleted.
This seing applies to objects deleted from the data source or
server, not to any objects you delete from
vRealize Operations Manager on the Inventory Explorer page.
A value of -1 deletes objects immediately.
Deletion Schedule Interval 24 hours Determines the frequency to schedule deletion of resources.
This seing works with the Deleted Objects seing to remove
objects that no longer exist in the environment.
vRealize Operations Manager transparently marks objects for
removal that have not existed for the length of time specied
under Deleted Objects. vRealize Operations Manager then
removes the marked objects at the frequency specied under
Deletion Scheduling Interval.
Object History 300 days Number of days to retain the history of the object conguration,
relationship, and property data.
The conguration data is the collected data from the monitored
objects on which the metrics are based. The collected data
includes changes to the conguration of the object.
The data is purged from the system after the specied number
of days.
Session Timeout 30 minutes If your connection to vRealize Operations Manager is idle for
the specied amount of time, you are logged out of the
application.
You must provide credentials to log back in.
Symptoms/Alerts 90 days Number of days to retain canceled alerts and symptoms.
The alerts and symptoms can be canceled by the system or
canceled by a user.
Time Series Data 6 months Number of months that you want to retain the collected and
calculated metric data for the monitored objects.
If available disk space is less than 10%,
vRealize Operations Manager purges older data and might not
retain the full range specied.
