DaysToSplitDatabaseOn - System Parameter
Automate and optimize your Log Database lifecycle with the DaysToSplitDatabaseOn system parameter in Nodinite. This feature empowers you to control when new Log Databases are created based on age, ensuring high performance, compliance, and efficient storage management. Expect to:
✅ Automate creation of new Log Databases based on age
✅ Optimize storage and maintain high performance
✅ Ensure compliance with retention and lifecycle policies
✅ Plan and automate database management for your organization
The DaysToSplitDatabaseOn System Parameter determines how old the online Log Database can get before a new online Log Database is created. The Logging Service can create new Log Databases as they grow either too old or too large.
Nodinite recommends setting a large number, such as 10,000 days (the default in the Install and Update Tool), which practically disables this feature unless you specifically want to use it. This option is ideal for organizations that want to plan and automate the creation of new databases for optimal performance and compliance.
| System Parameter Name | Data Type | Values/Example | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| DaysToSplitDatabaseOn | integer | 365 (once every year) | Default = 10000 (Practically disabled) |
This feature is available from Nodinite version 3.
