Configure the Job History and Activity Log Retention Settings

You can configure the duration to retain the Job History and Activity Logs. If you want to retain the Activity Logs and Job History for a longer duration, you have to configure the server file.

Follow these steps:

1. Log into the Backup Server as a root user.
2. Open the server.cfg file:

   /opt/CA/d2dserver/configfiles/server.cfg
   

   Note: If the file is not present, create the server.cfg file.

3. Add the following line in the server.cfg file:

   job_history_activity_log_keep_day=<number of days>
   

   Example: To retain the Job History and Activity Log for 30 days, enter the following line:

   job_history_activity_log_keep_day=30
   

   Note: By default, the Job History and Activity Logs are retained for 90 days.

The Job History and Activity Log is retained for the specified time.
