Changing the data purger schedule

To reschedule the deletion of old data, change the time in which the data purger deletes the old data.

1. From the cluster management console, select System & Services > EGO Services > Service Profiles.
2. In the list of services, click purger.
   The service profile displays.
3. Navigate to <ego:Command> with the —t parameter in the purger script:
   • In Linux®, this is <ego:Command> ... .../purger.sh -t ...
   • In Windows, this is <ego:Command> ... ...\purger.bat -t ...

   By default, the data purger is scheduled to delete old data at 12:30 am every day.

4. Change the -t parameter in the data purger script to the new time (—t new_time).

   You can change the data purger schedule to a specific daily time, or at regular time intervals, in hours and minutes, from when the purger service first starts up.

   For example, to change the schedule of the data purger:

   • To delete old data at 11:15 pm every day:

     <ego:Command> ... .../purger... -t 23:15
     

   • To delete old data every 12 hours from 00:00 of every day:

     <ego:Command> ... .../purger... -t "*[12]"
     

   • To delete old data every 30 minutes from 00:00 of every day:

     <ego:Command> ... .../purger... -t "*:*[30]"
     

5. Click Save. The service must be stopped to apply the changes. Click OK to stop the service.
6. In the Actions list for the purger service, select Start. Click OK to start the purger service.
7. Refresh the Services page and verify that the purger service has started.
