Additionally at least as of 1.2.7 of BASE the archiving was still not
optimized for speed or performance, so it will be a very slow and lengthy
process. Typically I recommend that you archive more frequently, and then
simply dump the archive database every month or so (depending on your
traffic). I seldom archive anything after 45 days. In a high
traffic/logging environment you may wish to keep even less.

There seems to be a problem with the archiving function, but I don't
know if I am using it incorrectly. I had one particular alert with
15,000+ events, so I went in to the view of unique alerts, selected
the relevant icon on the list and selected 'archive (move) selected'
from the actions.
After a long time the transaction seemed to finish OK, but when I went
in to look at it again there was still some large number of these
events . . . maybe 5,000+.
I checked the archive database and many of the entries had been moved.
I repeated the procedure and it came down to 1,000+ events. Then I
repeated it and it left 1.
No matter how many times I repeat, this 1 event will not move.
So, here's the question - how come when I asked BASE to move all the
records of a particular type it only moved part of them, and how come
it refuses to move the last transaction ?
It makes me a bit wary of the archive funtion if it has this type of
issue.
Hi,
php knows a timeout for each script. BASE increases this timeout a little
bit, but not enough for such a huge number of alerts.
In base_conf.php look for a line like
$max_script_runtime = 180;
Set this to 6000 or whatever:
$max_script_runtime = 6000;
Bye, bye,
Juergen
