Purging Logs
Pre-requisites:
To configure the log purging, you must have the CentraSite Registry Repository up and running.
For performance reasons, CentraSite uses system log records to store activities and performances of some of the registry objects (say, policies, assets, and so on) that are defined through the log settings. However, in some cases, you might want to modify the log settings configuration to avoid performance degradation of CentraSite.
Note that CentraSite does not purge the following information:
Policy logs in InProgress state.
Auditable events that log on object creation.
Approval logs in Pending state.
Consumer registration data.
Purged audit log data (that is, records of the audit logs that were purged earlier).
Note:
When you purge policy log entries, CentraSite creates a new informational policy log entry indicating that policy log entries have been purged. If any such informational policy log entries exist from previous invocations of the policy log purger, they are also purged, so that the only such policy log entry remaining is the one for the current invocation.
Invoking the log purging settings is a two-step process:
1. Create a log purging configuration (config.xml) file.
2. Execute the script file from a command line with appropriate input parameters.
