Storage

To ensure your installation of Kemp 360 Central remains functional, you can control how much data is retained using the Storage and Device Log Management features. To access, click Settings and Configuration > Storage. After you set a value, click Apply to apply the change.

Storage

There are four settings you can manage here:

• Statistics Retention Threshold (default value is 90 Days)
• Log Retention Threshold (default value is 90 Days)
• Log Message Retention on Ingress (default value is Error)
• Disk Usage Alert Threshold (default value is 80%)

Statistics Retention Threshold

Here you can set the maximum number of days that managed device statistics data are retained. Any data above this threshold is deleted periodically. The available options are Unlimited, 90 Days, 180 Days, 270 Days, and 360 Days.

Log Retention Threshold

This is the maximum number of days that managed device log data are retained for. Any data above this threshold is deleted periodically. The available options range from Unlimited to 360 Days.

Log Message Retention on Ingress

This option refers to the lowest log message severity level accepted on receipt from a managed device. Any message received containing a lower severity level is dropped on receipt, regardless of the log level setting on the managed device. Besides Disabled, the range of options, from highest to lowest priority, is as follows: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, and Info.

Disk Usage Alert Threshold

This option enables you to set the percentage of disk space at which the system begins sending storage alerts. The alerts are sent until the disk space usage falls below the specified percentage. The values range from 50% to 95%.

When the system reaches a disk alert threshold set by the user, an orange alert appears on the UI informing you about this (this is also stored in Syslog). When this happens, you could select a shorter Statistics Retention Threshold or Log Retention Threshold to free up space. If you do not, there is a critical disk alert threshold set by the system of 95%. If this threshold is reached, the system sends out another alert and stops collecting logs and statistics until you contact Support. An email notification alert is also sent to anyone who has their SMTP settings configured.

Device Log Management

As an admin user, you can free up disk space by deleting log files that you no longer need. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Expand the Device Log Management section.
2. Select the date range of the logs you want to delete in the Delete Logs From field.
3. Click Delete Logs.

   

4. If you want to delete the selected device logs, click Delete; if not, click Cancel. The applicable logs are removed and are no longer visible in the Global Repository.
