Server setting Audit data retention Description As the amount of audit data grows, you can purge all audit data older than a designated date.You can also manage the purge settings for individual audits. In large and complex organizations, the retention times for audit data may vary by audit. The ability to specify data maintenance per audit lowers the cost of maintaining audit data. • Enable findings data purging - Allow McAfee Policy Auditor to purge audit results data older than a specified date. This setting is enabled by default. • Purge findings data after - Edit to specify how long findings data should be retained. The default setting is 12 months. • Stop Data Maintenance after - If the PA: Purge Audit Results server task runs longer than the time specified in this setting, it stops to allow other system data maintenance tasks to run.When the server task restarts, it resumes where it left off. The default setting is to let this task run for 2 hours. • Remove related Findings results when purging Audit Results - Select to purge Findings data when purging audit results. This setting is selected by default. Audit label Audit labels allow you to use different descriptions for the default labels of Pass, Fail, Pass-Expired, Fail-Expired, or Other-Expired.

McAfee recommends that you keep the default settings, because most users find them appropriate and intuitive. 16 McAfee Policy Auditor 6.0 software Product Guide for ePolicy Orchestrator 4.6
