IBM Security Guardium - UI banner or Health Dashboard warning: Old partitions found

Troubleshooting


Problem

Old partitions that should be purged exist in Guardium internal database tables. The old partitions can cause performance problems for aggregation processes and patch installation if too many exist.

Symptom

Depending on the Guardium appliance version one or both of these alerts might appear:
  • After logging in to Guardium UI, a UI banner warning shows Old partitions found: Oldest partition found: p[date]
  • Central Manager Deployment Health Dashboard shows alerts with name -  Old partitions found. Alerts are sent from all managed units. The severity of the alert corresponds to the age of oldest partition:
    • Older than purge age + 240 days - Critical
    • Older than purge age + 120 days - High
    • Older than purge age + 62 days - Medium
