Purging Logs

Configuring Log Purging from the Command Line

For performance reasons, CentraSite uses system log records to store activities and performances of some of the registry objects (say, policies, assets etc.) that are defined via the log settings. However, in some cases, you might want to modify the log settings configuration, in order to avoid performance degradation of CentraSite.

Prerequisites

To be able to configure the log purging, please note the following points:

To configure from a command line, the CentraSite Registry Repository must be online, and the tool requires a Java 6 runtime.

Changes to the log purging configuration do not affect the currently running tasks.

Note that CentraSite does not purge:

Policy logs in "InProgress" state.

Auditable events that log on object creation.

Approval logs in "Pending" state.

Federation job queue data.

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.
