Database Cleanup Options

The database cleanup options for MCS are shown in the image below.

By default, MCS is set to keep data indefinitely. We strongly advise setting limits that align with your data access requirements. The data types are explained below.

• Database entries - high level data shown in the standard tabular format when viewing data under the reporting tab.
• Detail files - low level data used to build out the graphs shown in the detailed reports. Detail data takes up the most space.
• Published reports - any reports that have automatically published through MCS. Individual reports can have expiry settings, too.

The value required is the number of days to keep data. For example, setting 180 would keep the last six months of data.

Please note that any changes to the settings will not be saved until you click the "Save" button located at the bottom of the page. This affects the cleanup now button.
