5.3 Configuring Disk Space Usage

If networked storage is enabled, the data is copied to the networked storage location after two days, and a local copy remains until space is available. Raw data is moved to the networked storage location after approximately one hour.

  1. Log in to the Sentinel Web interface as a user in the administrator role.

  2. Click Storage in the toolbar.

  3. Click the Configuration tab.

    In the Disk Space Usage section, the Local storage size field displays the total storage size currently used by Sentinel.

  4. Specify the local storage utilization value:

    • Specify a value to start deleting the data storage from local storage when the specified value is reached.

    • Specify a value to stop deleting the data storage from local storage when the specified value is reached.

    These settings are the settings at which Sentinel starts (and stops) deleting the duplicate data files that are in local storage. The copies are kept in the local storage until this disk usage threshold is reached in order to speed up searches and reports. When the threshold is reached and files are deleted, the networked storage becomes the sole location for the data.

    The Networked storage size field specifies the value of the networked storage space.

  5. Specify the maximum archive size to be used as part of the total available archive size.
