Re: vCenter Database retention Policy when does it take effect

Hi Stan,

The DB retention policy will not help as the DB would be purged when the next roll up jobs and purge scripts are configured to run.

You could try a manual purge of data beyond a certain specified date

Mware KB: Purging old data from the database used by vCenter Server

The script can be configured to contain data for number of days you want to retain data for

1. Modify event.maxAge to 30, and modify the event.maxAgeEnabled value to true.
2. Modify task.maxAge to 30, and modify the task.maxAgeEnabled value to true.
