*** NEW: Automatic Revisions Purge ***

[chkp-idoma]

Hello all,

My name is Ido and I’m a software developer in Checkpoint R&D under the Management Products team.

I’m happy to announce that starting from today a new feature of Automatic Revisions Purge is available and can be used via API.

See full documentation and examples here: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#cli/set-automatic-purge~v1.7%20

I would like to emphasize that it is very important to use purge in order to clear unused data and by that maintain an optimized disk space and improve the general performance of the Management product.  

We recommend you to configure automatic revisions purge to run once in a month and purge all the revisions which were not created at the last 10 days.

P.S in order to actually reduce the disk space one should open an SR to TAC for running the procedure.

Automatic purge is available in the below jumbo versions:

R80.20(#18), R80.30(#10), R80.40(#6)

And will be available in R81 soon.

If you have questions or feedbacks feel free to contact me privately.

Thanks,

Ido

Hi

are there plans to add this feature to "SmartConsole - Global Properties" and in case of MDSM for each individual domain?

Thanks

Hi @S_E_ ,

There are plans to do so but without any ETA for now.

When following SK170059, I cannot get it to work on MDS using the domain flag.  Is the flag below valid?  Using R80.40.

--d/--domain <domain>

I tried with only the -d flag but says domain not found.

mgmt_cli automatic-purge enabled true -d DOMAIN1 keep-sessions-by-count false number-of-days-to-keep "30" scheduling.check-interval "7" scheduling.time-units "days" scheduling.start-date "2021-08-17T17:30:00"

the -d DOMAIN should be before automatic-purge.
