Archiving Data Node content

Configure a Data Node appliance to use Archive mode when you want the Data Node to provide online access to historical data without impacting storage for incoming data.

In Archive mode, the appliance does not receive new data, but existing data is saved.

Important: No event retention policies are applied on the Data Node appliance in Archive mode.

  4. Select the Data Node appliance in the host table, and on the Deployment Actions menu, click Edit Host.
  5. Click the Component Management settings icon (Gear icon for component management settings).
  6. In the Data Node Mode field, select Archive, and then click Save.
  7. On the Admin tab, click Deploy Changes.

What to do next
