Issue/Introduction

On premise DX APM 20.2.

We need to modify the CRON that is currently deleting traces once a day (default at 9:00 PM).

How can we change this PURGE_CRON in order to delete the elastic indices more frequently, for example 4 times a day. 

This is because in 24 hours the disk space is filled by a huge amount.

Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : CA DOI JARVIS & ELASTIC SEARCH

Resolution

Use the following procedure to change the PURGE_CRON settings.  

kubectl edit deploy -n dxi jarvis-esutils

Change from:

- name: PURGE_CRON
  value: 0 0 21 * * ?

To:

- name: PURGE_CRON
  value: 0 0 0/6 * * ?
