SLD change log housekeeping

[Former Member]

Hi.

I'm looking for some general recommendation about SLD Changelog housekeeping.

I know HOW to delete data in change log (in SLD GUI in administration/changes/administer changelog, or using cleanup task), but I would like to find out how long history of change log do I need. I know that nobody can answer this for me, but maybe you could point me to some documentation or nice description of data actually stored in change log so I could decide by myself:-)

Thanks in advance for any comment

It would seem like the "Administer Change Log" tab would update the Content Changes, but I was trying to line up the items that would be deleted for a particular day on the Administer tab with a search on the Content Changes tab, and I was unable to make the number of entries line up.

The only thing I've really found is at this link.  I would simply recommend backing up your SLD before you make any changes.

"Caution

Do not delete entries still needed for incremental exports.If incremental export data are affected by your deletion, follow the system warnings."

I have made some more research and this seems to be the only reasonable thing I have found:

Do not delete from changelog any data needed for incremental export.

If I delete everything older than a week, it should be just fine.

Thanks
