Managing the settings for saving traffic in the database

The application can save traffic at the moment events are registered and store that traffic in the database. The database saves traffic only when registering events for which traffic saving is enabled. The application can also save traffic in the database directly by requesting to load traffic using temporary traffic dump files.

The application saves traffic data in blocks. If a traffic block relates to several events (when events are registered in a short time interval), this traffic block is not duplicated in the database.

To change the settings for saving traffic in the database:

1. Start the Application Console and provide the account credentials of a user with the Administrator role.
2. In the Settings menu of the Application Console window, select Logs.

   The Manage logs window opens.

3. Select the Save traffic tab.
4. Configure the following settings for saving traffic in the database:
   • Maximum number of saved packets

     The default value of this setting is 100,000,000 packets.

   • Maximum period for storing packets (in days)

     The default value of this setting is 365 days.

   • Maximum size of saved traffic in the database (MB)

     The default value of this setting is 15000 MB.

5. Click the Apply button.
