op5 LogServer Storage
op5 LogServer has three storage facilities. Data is written to all three of these upon being received - however it is deleted according to separate settings.
The PostgreSQL database
All messages ar initially stored in the PostgreSQL database. This is used as the default source of information for the web interface.
The data in the PostgreSQL database is deleted after a configured amount of time. See chapter
Database Storage for more information.
Local Storage
Data is also compressed with bzip and saved to disk, for future reference as archived data. When you restore archived data it is fetched from the local storage if possible, otherwise it is fetched from the remote storage.
The data in the local storage is deleted after a configured amount of time. See chapter
Local Storage for more information.
Remote Storage
The remote storage has the same information as the local storage, but it is meant for saving data over a longer period of time.
Normally this is located on a file server, where it is also should be backed up.
The data on the remote storage is deleted after a configured amount of time - see chapter
Remote storage for more information.
