By default, metadata Metadata files are stored in Server's metadata databasethe metadata storage in the local directory of the server. The metadata storage path is set during the the Axxon One installation(see Installation). If necessary, you can place metadata on any available in the network storage.

To configure the data storage of the system log and metadata, do the following:

In the Settings of metadata storage parameters group, in the Period field, enter the amount of days to store metadata in the database (5).

10. System log cleanup period	[hours]	Set the system log cleanup period for irrelevant events. 720 hours is set by default. If you want to change the time limit, you must set the value in the range [1, 1000]. The events are considered irrelevant if their storage period in the system log exceeds the set one on the previous step

The metadata database can be stored on NAS if necessary (by default, it is located locally as set during Installation). Do the following:

Enter the user name and password (7). The user must have permissions to access the NAS.

    Metadata storage path	By default, the metadata storage is placed locally, the path is set during the installation (see Installation). To place the database in the network storage, you must specify the path to the storage. Note title Attention! At the end of the network path, you must specify the character of the closingslash (\). Otherwise, the network path is considered incorrect, and the metadata recording isn't performed. The example of the correct network path: \\192.168.1.111\my_metadata_folder\ If you clear the path to the network storage used to store the metadata, the metadata is recorded to the local database.
    User name for network path	Enter the name of the user that has the access to the network storage
