Unable to override information events TTL of 5 years

Affected versions

Any versions using a Cassandra Cluster setup.

Cause

The default TTL for information events is set to 5 years instead of the preferred default of 1 year.

Workaround

  1. Stop DataMiner.

  2. Open the file C:\Skyline DataMiner\database\DBMaintenanceDMS.xml.

  3. Add the following tag:

    <TTL type="Info" default="1Y">
        <Local>3M5D</Local>
        <Indexing>3M5D</Indexing>
</TTL>

    This configuration sets a default TTL of 1 year but specifies an actual TTL of 3 months and 5 days.

    Note

    Replace 3M5D (3 months, 5 days) with your preferred TTL value.

  4. Save and close the file.

  5. Start DataMiner.

Fix

No fix is available yet.

Description
