Dear Boris,

From your questions:

1.How much time the sensor’s data is keep ?

2.Where I can change this parameters ?

Historical data is stored for as long as the amount of disk space on the DCE appliance allows, but taking into account the purge conditions, which can be viewed and changed in the Storage Settings -> Purge Settings tab (Automatic Purge or Manual Purge).

3.Where I can see this data ?

Similarly, it is possible to look at Storage Settings -> Repositories tab in DCE appliance.

4.Can I transfer this data via syslog ?

Sorry, but this is impossible.

If you have more questions, please ask.

With respect.

Many thank for your answer .

Can you clear a addition points :

1. Storage Settings -> Purge Settings tab (Automatic Purge or Manual Purge).

Is this option available on DCE client or web ?

1. Historical data is stored for as long as the amount of disk space on the DCE appliance allows

How I can resize/extend more disk space to DCE ? This is appliance and I can’t access to operation system and I don’t know root password .

Dear Boris,

From your questions:

...Is this option available on DCE client or web ?

Everything I said above applies to the DCE-client (not the DCE web-GUI). But the status of the repository can also be viewed in the web-GUI at link http://DCE_IP_or_hostname/nbc/compress/repository/status (you must log in as the DCE-server administrator).

...How I can resize/extend more disk space to DCE ? This is appliance and I can’t access to operation system and I don’t know root password .

This procedure is described in document Adding disk space to a virtual appliance.

Attention: do not increase the size of an existing HDD. This will not help you. It is necessary to add one more separate HDD and restart the DCE-server. This rule applies to both the DCE VM appliance and the DCE hardware appliance.

With respect.

Is there other way for transfer the log to out from DCE ?

Dear Boris,

DCE appliance - black box by design. Therefore, access to system log-files on a periodic basis is not provided at all.

But for debugging purposes, system log-files can be downloaded from the DCE appliance: how to do this is written in topic .

With respect.
