Data Aging
By default, up to 500 data records per data channel are stored in the database. The aging process scans the database every hour to identify and automatically delete records that exceed the configured maximum. You can modify the aging defaults as follows:
-
Start the configuration wizard by running the following command:
Windows:
<BVD_Install_Dir>\BVD\bin\configure.bat
Linux:
/opt/HP/BVD/bin/configure.sh
- In a browser, enter the URL:
http://localhost:5000
Note:
localhost:5000
uses the default port5000
. If this port is already in use, follow the instructions displayed in the command line to identify the correct URL. - Enter the password for the configuration wizard and click Submit.

Navigate to the step Aging and complete the following settings:
