A customer wants to clean up the HP SIM database , but must keep events from the last 180 days
complying with regulations.

How can you delete events older than 180 days to keep the database clean and comply with
regulations at the same time?

A.
Configure a custom command to use the database CLI to delete events older than 180 days.

B.
Create a collection to select events older than 180 days, and write a task to delete events on
that collection.

C.
Change the retention policy in the database level to delete all entries older than 180 days.

D.
Configure an event retention policy to keep events from the last 180 days and delete the
remaining events manually.

Explanation:
For every system that is discovered in HP SIM, an event is created that cannot be deleted (the
Discovered System event) until the system is deleted. If you are managing 1,500 systems, this
means that 1,500 events are automatically generated before any SNMP traps are received. These
Discovered System events can be cleared so that they can be easily filtered out. This can be
performed automatically by creating a collection to filter all events older than X days, then creating
a task to delete events from that collection.
