Configuring Time Period for Storing Logs

This topic describes the procedure to define the time period to store all the logs maintained by MDM.

Over a period of time, as the MDM logs start accumulating, they fill up the database. Extensive accumulation of logs may eventually impact synchronization, and if left unattended, may even stop data synchronization. As an administrator, you are responsible for periodical backups of the logs and freeing the database. MDM provides an option to automatically delete logs older than a user-defined time period. As an administrator, you can set this time period to store the logs.

1. On CUSP > My Applications, click (MDM Admin Settings). The MDM Admin Settings window appears.
2. By default, MDM logs only unsuccessful transactions during synchronization. If you want to log successful transactions, select the Log Successful Transactions during Synchronization check box in the Log Settings group box.
3. Select the Purge Logs Older than Days check box in the Log Settings group box to delete the logs, and provide the number of days during which the logs must be retained. If you do not want to delete logs, clear the check box.
   Note: By default, logs are deleted after seven days.
4. Select the Purge State History Logs Older than Days check box in the Log Settings group box to delete logs of the purge state history, and provide the number of days during which the state history logs must be retained. If you do not want to delete logs of the purge state history, clear the check box.
   Note: By default, state history is deleted after seven days.
5. Click to save.
   
   The time period to maintain the logs by MDM is defined.
