Configuring Log Retention

The following data is automatically deleted from DC after reaching a certain age:

• Discovery data (<installation-path>/dc/var/fsdc/data)
• Log data (<installation-path>/dc/var/fsdc/logs)

The default retention period is one month. To reconfigure it, take these steps on each DC node in your cluster:

1. Log in to the node as root.
2. Open /opt/meridian/dc/var/fsdc/conf/netra.conf for editing.
   Replace /opt/meridian with your actual installation path.
3. Change the following properties:

   # set the retention period for /dc/var/fsdc/data
   remove_older_data_days_count = 30
   # set the retention period for /dc/var/fsdc/logs
   remove_older_logs_days_count = 30
4. Restart the meridian service:

   service meridian-dc stop
   service meridian-dc start
