Monthly archive

Monthly archives are performed for Archive schedules with an Archive Cutoff field value ranging from 00:01:00 to 00:11:00.

The figure above shows a schedule created on January 1, 2019, with an Archive Cutoff value of two months and a Delete Cutoff value of two months. Archiving does not take place until the start of the day: April 1. Until then, none of the collected data is older than two months. Intervals between two and three months are considered to be two months for purposes of monthly archiving. Data cleanup does not take place until the start of the day: April 1. Until then, none of the collected data is older than two months. The data must be archived before the archiveCleanup process because unarchived data cannot be deleted. If the execution times for these two scripts were set up in the wrong order, the first data cleanup would not take place until May 1.
