Configuring automatic archiving

Configuring automatic archiving causes the archiver to run at a specific time on specific days of the week. This allows you to archive all your inactive log files at specified intervals. You can also specify rules for purging old log files automatically to manage the retention of archives and as a consequence, the size of the database.

To configure automatic archiving:

  1. Open the Grid Management Pages.
  2. Navigate to the Topology View.
  3. Click on the Logging link.
  4. Click on the Log Archiver link.
  5. Click on the configured link.
  6. Click the Edit Schedule button.
  7. Choose the day(s) of the week and specify a time.
  8. Click on the Save button.
  9. Click on the Save button at the top left of the screen.
