Idash final & archive directories filling up

Issue/Introduction

We've noticed that /opt/CA/idash/log/sla/final directory takes a lot of space, currently 24GB on our UAT server.

Can anything be done to decrease the space required by this directory?

Environment

IDash WA

Resolution

Scenario1

If you do not care much about the SLA Trend Report data for a particular date range, you can remove the corresponding files under the final and archive directories. It will be the 4 files for every SLA. The removed SLAs will also not show up under “Past SLA Runs” table in the Web UI. 

Scenario 2

If you do care about the Past SLA Runs in the Web UI and SLA Trend Report data then from the final and archive directories for each SLA they can remove all the files except for the *.mst files.

Note:

For our reference zip or tar all four files for each SLA but just keep the mst file around for SLA Trend Report data.
