8.6.8. Deleting data (log files)

8.6.8.1. Introduction

This procedure enables clearing the information tables of the analysis engines, syslog exchanges, and NDR information over a given period of time.

This deletion period is selected by the administrator, however, it cannot exceed the total retention time of the data already pre-configured in the solution.

Important

Data not yet processed will also be deleted.

Note

After a full or incremental save by the backup functionality, the old logs are automatically deleted, depending on the data retention time, thus freeing up disk space.

Note

See the log files and their management presentation in the paragraph Data use.

The graphical interface of the data export function is described in `Admin-GCenter- Data Management` screen of the legacy web UI.
