Controlling the size of the meghadata directory

You can control the size of the meghadata directory by setting values in the meghadata_cleanup_custom.properties file. The meghadata directory purging activity is scheduled daily at 00:10 hours. By default, the data is retained for 90 days.

1. Log on to the Analyzer detail view server through an SSH client (like putty) as a root user.
2. Enter the following command:

   cd /usr/local/megha/conf/

3. Create a backup copy of the meghadata_cleanup_custom.properties file using the following command:

   cp meghadata_cleanup_custom.properties bkp_meghadata_cleanup_custom.properties_bkp

4. Open the meghadata_cleanup_custom.properties file using a text editor (such as vi) and change the following properties:

   cleanupapp.client.zip.root=/home/meghadata/*-*-*-*-*
   cleanupapp.client.zip.enable=yes
   cleanupapp.client.zip.retentiontime=90 #value in days

   Note: Do not change the value of the cleanupapp.client.zip.retentiontime property to less than 5 days.
