Maximum Data Retention (in days) | This value indicates the maximum number of days for which the data collected is retained in the system. After this duration, the data is not available for searching. By default, this value is set to 7. While creating data collectors, you can set the Read from Past (#days) field to a value within the limit specified in this field. For example, if this value is set to 30 (number of days), then the data collector cannot read past data beyond 30 days and must be set to a value within the 30-day limit. Again, you cannot search data with a custom time set to a duration other than that specified while creating the data collector. Note: You can change this limit to a maximum of 14 days. To increase the limit beyond 14 days, you need to modify the value of the following property:
After changing the property value, you need to restart the Search component to apply the change. |
