Description
The Set-SCOMDatabaseGroomingSetting cmdlet modifies database grooming settings for a management group. Database grooming automatically removes unnecessary data from the System Center - Operations Manager database in order to maintain performance.
You can specify how long, in days, to keep the following items:
- Resolved alerts
- Availability history
- Event data
- Task history
- Maintenance mode history
- Monitoring job data
- Performance data
- State change data
Use the Get-SCOMDatabaseGroomingSetting cmdlet to see the current values for these settings.
By default, this cmdlet uses the active persistent connection to a management group.
Use the SCSession parameter to specify a different persistent connection.
You can create a temporary connection to a management group by using the ComputerName and Credential parameters.
For more information, type Get-Help about_OpsMgr_Connections.
Examples
Example 1: Set days to keep resolved alerts
PS C:\>Set-SCOMDatabaseGroomingSetting -AlertDaysToKeep 21
This command sets the number of days to keep resolved alerts to 21.
Example 2: Set days to keep availability history
PS C:\>Set-SCOMDatabaseGroomingSetting -AvailabilityHistoryDaysToKeep 10
This command sets the number of days to keep availability history to 10.
Parameters
-AlertDaysToKeep
Specifies the number of days to keep resolved alerts.
