Purging Events from the Event Repository

To purge events from the Event Repository after a configurable amount of time, configure the Event Loader purge task when running the create_config.py script.

To purge events from the Event Repository, assign event lifespan codes to event types that are to be purged in My MATRIXX.

The duration of time that applies to each event lifespan code (the event-storage retention period) is defined in the delete code configuration in the Event Loader purge task configuration parameters in create_config.py. All events for event types that are listed in the delete code configuration file are stored in the Event Repository for the event-storage retention period you specify before being purged.

To purge events from the Event Repository, configure the Event Loader purge task parameters in create_config.py. For more information, see the discussion about Event Repository configuration in MATRIXX Configuration.

Events are purged based on the event lifespan code and the event time. Events are purged for both partitioned and non-partitioned event repositories. For partitioned event repositories, the empty partitions that are older than the current time are dropped.

For information about configuring event lifespan codes, see My MATRIXX Help.

For more information about configuring the Event Loader purge task parameters, see the discussion about Event Repository configuration in MATRIXX Configuration.

For information about configuring the standalone application to purge events, see the discussion about event_repository_purge.
