April 8, 2024

ID 222206

Alerts and incidents are stored in KUMA for a year by default. This period can be changed by editing the application startup parameters in the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/kuma-core.service on the KUMA Core server.

To change the retention period for alerts and incidents:

  1. Log in to the OS of the server where the KUMA Core is installed.
  2. In the /usr/lib/systemd/system/kuma-core.service file, edit the following string by inserting the necessary number of days:

    ExecStart=/opt/kaspersky/kuma/kuma core --alerts.retention <number of days to store alerts and incidents> --external :7220 --internal :7210 --mongo mongodb://localhost:27017

  3. Restart KUMA by running the following commands in sequence:
    1. systemctl daemon-reload
    2. systemctl restart kuma-core

The retention period for alerts and incidents will be changed.
