Reporting Collector

Auto Delete mode

Here you can set the mode in which the Auto Delete function should run. If set to "Disabled", no files will be deleted. "Capacity“ deletes the oldest file in the folder if more than the number of files specified in "Delete more than" has been saved. If set to "OlderThan", all files older than the time specified in "Delete older than" will be deleted. The option "CapacityOrOlderThan" is a combination of "Capacity" and "OlderThan". That is, files are deleted when the conditions for either option are met.

Delete more than

This option defines when and with how many created files the oldest is to be deleted. The option is only active as long as "Capacity" or "CapacityOrOlderThan" is selected in "Auto Delete".

Delete older than

This option defines the number of seconds after which a file is to be deleted with Auto Delete. The option is only active as long as "OlderThan" or "CapacityOrOlderThan" is selected in "Auto Delete".
