Archiving
Collected data is archived each day. The applied file name is generated automatically using the format
mm-dd-yyyy.log. When entries are archived, they are purged from the database. By default, only raw
data is archived.
Note If more than one purge is carried out in a day, the original log file is overwritten and the information
stored is lost. After a purge, only the information in the current sample period is available for display.
