Archive Settings
You can adjust the archive rotation rules and archive settings in the Archive settings tab.
Rotation rules
You can use different criteria to set the rotation archive settings for the transaction data under this block. These settings will be checked regularly and archive rotation will be triggered once any of the criteria has been met.
- Keep logs within (days): Specify a period of time (in days) to retain the transaction data. Any transaction data that were saved earlier than the specified time range will be deleted automatically.
- Keep corresponding video clips within (days): Specify a period of time (in days) within which you wish to retain the corresponding video clips. Any corresponding video clips that were saved earlier than the specified time range will be deleted automatically.
- Limit the log and video clip size up to (GB): Specify a limit of size (in GB) within which you wish to retain the transaction data and corresponding video clips. When the specified space limit is reached, the oldest transaction data and video clips will be overwritten by new.
- Recording Storage: Select a recording storage to be used for saving recorded videos.
Note:
-
The number of days to keep the video clip can not exceed the number of days to keep the transaction data. When the transaction data is deleted, its associated video clips will be deleted automatically.
- Only the shared folder created through Surveillance Station can be set as the recording storage. For more information, please refer to Surveillance Station Help.
- When you click Save to complete recording storage settings, the recording storage will be displayed as "Migrating". During configuration, recordings can work properly, however you cannot edit the storage until the migration is finished. The time required for configuration depends on the size of the recorded videos.
- If the recording storage crashed or no longer exists, all recording functions of Transactions will stop. You will need to select another recording storage for the recording functions to work properly again.
Storage Destination for Archives
Under this section, you can set up Destination for transaction data archives, and determine whether to archive logs additionally in plain text, or to compress archives.
Note:
- If the storage destination is not set, or the set up destination path no longer exists, the old transaction data will be rotated without being archived.
- At present, only transaction data can be archived, and the relevant video clips will not be archived.
