The Automated Archival action enables you to set a schedule by which alerts and packet logs are automatically archived.
The scheduled archival process archives alerts and packet logs daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the frequency you select.
If you choose Weekly and select a day of the week from the drop-down list, the archival begins from the previous week for the selected day. For example, if you choose Weekly and choose Sunday as the day of the week, logs from the previous Sunday through Saturday are archived.
If you choose Monthly, the archive frequency is the 1st of every month and the logs for the month are archived.
If you choose Daily, the logs from the hour 00:00:00 through 23.59.59 from 2 days back are archived. For example, if you set the Scheduler to Daily on 3-Sep, then the logs from 1-Sep are archived.
Note
