5.3 Purging Metrics Captured in BAM Data Objects

During activation of a model, BAM Data Objects specific to the model get created. To purge the metrics captured in these Data Objects, you need to leverage the BAM data retention feature. Based on the BAMMetricsRetentionPeriod in the InsightConfigMbean, the retention period of the data in these Data Objects will be set. The default value is 90. BAM internal jobs will take care of purging of metrics created beyond the retention period. A nightly job takes care of the purging, the time of running the purge job is done through the BAM configuration. An update of InsightConfigMBean attribute results in immediate update of the retention period of all activated model Data Objects. The BAM metrics are a global configuration and not model specific.
