Configure system prune and event prune settings

To limit the amount of reporting data being stored in your NetScaler Console software database, you can prune it. You can specify the interval for which you want NetScaler Console to retain network reporting data, events, audit logs, and task logs. By default, this data is pruned every 24 hours (at 00.00 hours).

Note

The value you specify can’t be more than 30 days or be less than 15 days.

To configure system prune settings for performance reports:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Administration. Under Data Pruning, click System and Instance Data Pruning.
  2. In the Configure System Prune Settings page, specify the following:

    • Number of days to keep the data
    • Percentage of disk space (pruning threshold)
  3. Click OK.

    configure sys prune settings

You can enable automatic pruning by selecting the Enable Automatic Data Prune check box. An alarm is triggered and an email is sent when disk usage breaches the configured Data Prune Threshold Value.

Note

Pruning starts when any one of the criteria is met – data prune threshold value or data to keep (days). Whichever is met first, takes precedence over the other.

To configure and enable alarm settings:

  1. Navigate to Settings > SNMP. Click Alarms on the upper-right corner.
  2. Select the alarm that you want to configure (for example, diskUtilizationHigh) and click Edit.
  3. In the Configure Alarm page, specify the following:
  • Severity—Select the severity level.
  • Alarm Threshold—Type the value for which the event severity is calculated.
  • Time—Type the time (in minutes) after which you want to trigger the alarm.

Configure Events Prune Settings by Using NetScaler Console

To limit the amount of event messages data being stored in your NetScaler Console database, you can specify the interval for which you want NetScaler Console to retain network reporting data, events, audit logs, and task logs. By default, this data is pruned every 24 hours (at 00.00 hours).

  1. Navigate to Settings > Administration > Data Pruning and click System and Instance Data Pruning. Click Instance Events.

  2. Enter the time interval, in days, for which you want to keep the data on the NetScaler Console server and click Save.
