System log is stored in the local database for each server by default. You can set access to the system log for a user group in the Users tab of the Settings tab (see Roles).

Metadata files are stored in the metadata storage in the local directory of the server. The metadata storage path is set during the Axxon One installation (see Installation). If necessary, you can place metadata in the network storage.

To configure the data storage, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings → Options → Data storage.

  2. In the Settings of system log storage section:

    1. In the Period field, enter the storage period of the system log in the server database. The maximum allowable value is 1000 days. 

      Attention!

      If you enter the 0 value, the system log events are stored for 0 days.

    2. In the System log cleanup period field, enter the system log cleanup period for irrelevant events in hours. The events are considered irrelevant if their storage period in the system log exceeds the set one on the previous step.

  3. In the Settings of metadata storage section:

    1. In the Period field, enter the metadata storage period in the metadata storage in days. The maximum allowable value is 1000 days.

      Attention!

      • If you enter the 0 value, there is no limit to the depth of the metadata in the database.
      • If the free space on the disc becomes less than 15 GB, the metadata storage is overwritten, that is, the new data is recorded over the oldest one (see General information about the self-diagnostics service).
      • The cleanup of the metadata storage from videos, the storage period of which exceeds the set one, is performed:
        • Each 12 hours after Axxon One starts.
        • Each time when you start searching in the archive (see Search in archive).
      • If there is no recording by a camera to the archive during the metadata storage cleanup, the data of this camera is stored in the database regardless of the date.
    2. If necessaty, you can the database in the network storage (by default, the metadata storage is placed locally, the path is set during the installation, see Installation).
      1. In the Network path to save metadata field, specify the path to the network storage where the database must be placed.

        Attention!

        • At the end of the network path, you must specify the character of the closing slash (\). Otherwise, the network path is considered incorrect, and the metadata recording isn't performed. The example of the correct network path: \\192.168.1.111\my_metadata_folder\
        • If you clear the path to the network storage used to store the metadata, the metadata is recorded to the local database.
      2. In the User name for network path field, enter the name of the user that has the access to the specified network storage.
      3. In the Password for network path field, enter the password of the user that has the access to the specified network storage.

  4. Clcik the Apply button.

Configuring the database storage is complete.
