DaysToKeepMonitorAgentBackups - System Parameter
New 6.0
The DaysToKeepMonitorAgentBackups System Parameter determines how long to retain historical backups of Monitoring Agents. The Nodinite Monitoring Service automatically removes outdated configuration backups as part of its daily maintenance job, ensuring your environment stays clean and compliant.
Tip
A pinned backup is never removed by the system. Please add a comment so others know why you opted to keep that particular backup.
By default, Nodinite retains backups for 90 days (as recommended in the Install and Update Tool), but you can override this to match your organization's auditing and compliance policies. The Monitoring Service periodically purges old records, reducing manual effort and storage costs.
| System Parameter Name | Data Type | Values/Example | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| DaysToKeepMonitorAgentBackups | integer | 90 days | Default = 90 |
This feature is available from Nodinite version 6.0.0.22.
