Viewing the Junos Space Purging Policy and Purging Criteria

On the Purging Policy page, users with the role Super Administrator or System Administrator (or a custom user with the Purging Policy task assigned) can view the built-in purging policy and view and modify purging criteria and trigger conditions for Junos Space Network Management Platform and, if configured, for installed applications. In addition, users can enable or disable purging categories and view detailed information about the purging job on the Job Management page.

To view the purging policy, purging criteria, and trigger conditions:

On the Junos Space Platform UI, select Administration > Purging Policy.

The Purging Policy page is displayed.

This page displays the following trigger conditions for purging on the top part of the page (under Trigger conditions for purging):

  • Disk usage threshold (%)—Percentage of the disk space after which the files are purged

  • Schedule at a later time—Date and time at which the purging is scheduled

  • Recurrence—Interval at which the purging recurs

The purging categories and criteria, as shown in Table 1, are displayed in a table on the bottom part of the page. You can sort the table by purging category, policy status, or priority.
