Configure Event Archiving

Cygna Auditing & Security Suite allows you to archive or purge audit data after a specific period of time.

To configure archiving:

  1. Start the console.
  2. Expand the Cygna Auditing & Security Suite node.
  3. Select the Active Directory node.
  1. On the dashboard, select the first quick link under Configuration.
  2. Under Event Archiving:
    • Select the Archive events older than check box. The default value is 90 days.
    • Select the Purge events older than check box to purge events from the database. The default value is 90 days.
  3. Select the time of day to run the archive and purge.
  4. Click OK.

Note: Your archiving events schedule should always be a shorter time frame than your purge events schedule. You may experience a delay in completing a purge depending on the amount of data collected.
