Configure IW Monitor Database Settings

Configure database storage, back up, and clean IW Monitor statistics data

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the hard disk has sufficient capacity (at least equal to the current database size and does not exceed total disk capacity).

  • Use a hard disk with at least 100 GB; if using less, allocate no more than 75% of its capacity.

  • Consider backing up data before deleting historical records.

Procedure

Step 1

Go to Settings > Database.

Step 2

Set the MAXIMUM DATABASE SIZE value.

The IW Monitor periodically checks whether the historical data remains within the defined maximum database value.

Note

 

If the network statistics data stored on the hard disk reaches the specified value before the period specified by the TIME THRESHOLD is complete, the IW Monitor overwrites old data with new data in real time.

Step 3

Set the TIME THRESHOLD value for data retention.

The time threshold indicates how long network statistics are recorded before older data is overwritten.

Note

 

The minimum storage period for time-related network statistics before overwrite is one hour; the maximum is 90 days.

Step 4

To back up the database, in BACKUP DATABASE, click Backup. After the backup completes, click Download to save the backup file.

Step 5

To delete the oldest data, in CLEAN OLDEST DATA , Click Delete history .

Note

 

The system deletes the oldest 10% of stored statistics data only if the database exceeds either the size or time threshold.

Note

 

Deleted data cannot be recovered. Always back up data before deletion.
