Hi,

We are trying to change the default retention from 240 minutes (4 hours) to 3 days. I’ve searched through the documentation without any luck. I’m sure it’s a simple setting it’s just a matter of knowing where to find it. Can someone please help. We are running xymon 4.3.2.

I'm pretty sure you are discussing the "event list" below the dot-grid found on the non-green page.

Look the man page for xymongen where there are several options outlined:

--max-eventcount=N Limit the eventlog on the "All non-green" page to only N events. Default: 100.

--max-eventtime=N Limit the eventlog on the "All non-green" page to events that happened within the past N minutes. Default: 240.

--no-eventlog Disable the eventlog normally displayed on the "All non-green" page

and

--eventignore=test[,test] Ignore these tests in the "All non-green" event log display.

my line in tasks.cfg looks like:

CMD xymongen $XYMONGENOPTS --report --no-showemptygroups --maxrows=20 --max-eventcount=50 --max-eventtime=120 --eventignore=msgs,diskio

Yours will end up having --max-eventtime=4320
