Decreasing the time period that historical data is stored for will reduce the size of the event log and therefore the disk space used by 3Com Network Director on your PC.

If you do not wish to store monitoring state histories at all for events then you can clear the check box for the Store history before and after events for: setting.

The Maintain monitor history for: field must be set to at least as long a time period as the time period that event history is stored for, since 3Com Network Director uses monitor history to generate the history stored with logged events. 3Com Network Director will prevent you from setting a lower time period, and will disable event history completely if you disable monitor history.

Managing Event Event ageing is the process whereby old events and events marked for Ageing deletion are removed from the events database. This clears out events that are no longer relevant or that have been marked for deletion, and

prevents the events database from becoming too large.
