The NDB alert retention feature allows the database administrator to configure the duration for which the NDB alerts are stored and displayed in the NDB instance. The NDB alert retention feature supports alert retention globally, meaning that the same retention period applies to all the alerts generated by the NDB instance, regardless of the source cluster, policy, or operation. The database administrator can set the alert retention period from 1 day to 365 days, or choose to retain the alerts indefinitely. The NDB alert retention feature helps to manage the storage space and the visibility of the NDB alerts.
The NDB alert retention feature does not support retention at the individual policy, grouped policy, or registered cluster level. The NDB alert retention feature applies to all the alerts uniformly, and does not allow the database administrator to specify different retention periods for different policies or clusters.
