Meshcentral: Event history

[alesribic73]

Hi, where can i get more events than 1000. I need events for a year or even more because of GDPR AuditLog requests.

Agreed, I need to add more sophisticated filters on pages that display events. On a related topic, by default MeshCentral will remove records after a given time, you can set this in the "Settings" section of the config.json, here are the defaults in seconds:

    "DbExpire": {
      "events": 1728000,
      "powerevents": 864000,
      "statsevents": 2592000
    }

I have set per your instruction. Will drop down menu show now more results, or will be still limited to 1000?

The settings above are the default. They are the settings used if you don't provide any values. If you want to keep events in the database for longer, you must increase these values. Also, 1000 is still the maximum you can view until it's improved. Of course, if using MongoDB, you can always query the database directly.

Ok, thanks. So events are in the database, but it can not be shown, until improvement.

Thanks

[Ylianst]

Correct. If you want to keep events for a year or more, make sure to change the values above to much bigger values, put the number of seconds in a year for starters.

@Ylianst It would be interesting to be able to export all the records in CSV or JSON, that is, the "show" tab has an option that says all and that they can only be exported.
