Archiving and Pruning

Archiving and Pruning enables System Admins to achieve the actions in this document.

Audit Configuration

The Audit Configuration box shows information about the audit directories:

  • Usage: Amount of disk space used by the audit directory.

  • Available: Amount of maximum disk space that can be used by the audit directory.

  • % Used: Percentage of disk space used by the audit directory.

  • Days to Keep: Maximum number of days that an audit file is kept in the directory, after that it is considered old making it eligible for pruning.

  • Pruning Enabled: Indicates if pruning is enabled.

Enable/Disable Audit Per Protocol

In Audit Configuration click Configure of the corresponding audit:

  • Terminal audit for Telnet and SSH protocols.

  • Video audit for VNC, Desktop Sharing, RDP protocols.

  • Database audit for Oracle protocol.

A settings pop-up opens. Click on the toggles next to each protocol to enable or disable audit. It’s important to note that disabling audit does not disable pruning for that directory.

Pruning Settings

In Audit Configuration click Configure of the corresponding audit. A settings pop-up opens:

  • Prune Files Older Than: Deletes any files that are older than the specified number of days. If you set this value to 0, it prunes any audit file, regardless of its age.

  • Prune Older Audit Files Over: Deletes the oldest files after the directory reaches the specified size in megabytes. It’s crucial to make sure that this value does not exceed the capacity of the file system. This value does not take into account the values from other directories, so the sum of all megabytes for all directories should not exceed the capacity of the file system.

  • Prune older archived files over: Same as Prune older audit files over but for audit archive directories.

Configure Prune Quick Connect

In Prune Quick Connect Configuration.

  • Prune QC Sessions and History after: Define the amount of days after which sessions and history are pruned.

  • Prune pending QC Sessions if still pending after: Define the amount of days after which pending sessions are pruned.
