DaysToKeepMonitorAgentBackups - System Parameter
Automate and optimize your Monitoring Agent backup retention with the DaysToKeepMonitorAgentBackups system parameter in Nodinite. This feature empowers you to control how long historical backups are kept, ensuring compliance, reducing manual effort, and optimizing storage. Expect to:
✅ Automate backup retention and daily cleanup
✅ Ensure compliance with auditing and retention policies
✅ Reduce manual maintenance and storage costs
✅ Pin and comment on vital backups for long-term retention
The DaysToKeepMonitorAgentBackups System Parameter determines how long to retain historical backups of Monitoring Agents. The Nodinite Monitoring Service automatically removes outdated configuration backups as part of its daily maintenance job, keeping your environment clean and compliant.
Tip
A pinned backup is never removed by the system. Please add a comment so others know why you opted to keep that particular backup.
By default, Nodinite retains backups for 90 days (as recommended in the Install and Update Tool), but you can override this to match your organization's auditing and compliance policies. The Monitoring Service periodically purges old records, reducing manual effort and storage costs.
| System Parameter Name | Data Type | Values/Example | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| DaysToKeepMonitorAgentBackups | integer | 90 days | Default = 90 |
This feature is available from Nodinite version 6.0.0.22.
