The amount of data that the Site database stores and processes have a large impact on database performance. Database operations affect processor, memory, and disk access. To improve you database performance, store only essential and necessary data in the database. You can control how information is purged to keep the database size under control.
The emergency database purge job is designed to prevent the site database from becoming full. Purging old data keeps the database size within a user-defined limit and helps improve database performance. The job runs only if the database size exceeds the set limit. The job continues to run every 10 minutes until the database size is within the defined limit.
If the emergency database purge job is not enabled, then the SiteProtector™ System automatically stops the Event Collectors and Agent Managers when the database reaches 95% full. These components remain inactive until you manually create more space in the database.
Use the default settings for maximum item age.
