ControlPoint 8.8 - User Guide

Specifying the Web Applications to Include in the Archiving Process

By default, if the Audit Archiving process is run from a command line or as a Windows scheduled task, the ControlPoint audit log archive process runs on all Web applications in the SharePoint farm.  ControlPoint Application Administrations can, however, specify which Web applications that they want to include in the process (for example, only those that are subject to regulatory requirements).  

Web applications that you choose to include in the audit log archiving process will automatically be excluded from the purge process (as determined by the Number of Days to Keep Audit Records, to ensure that the purge process will not run before data is archived.  

NOTE:  This setting will be ignored if you are running the archive process from the ControlPoint application interface.

To specify Web applications to include in the archiving process:

Enter the Web application's GUID as the Value of the ControlPoint Setting Edit Settings for Web Applications to Include in Audit Logs.  

TIP:

·To locate a Web application's GUID, select the Web application in the ControlPoint SharePoint Hierarchy, right-click and choose Properties.

·Copy the ID Property Value and paste it directly into the Web Applications to Include in Audit Logs Value field.  

NOTE: Enter multiple Web applications as a comma-separated list.

TIP:  Use the Notes field to record the names of included Web applications, as you cannot as easily retrieve a Web application's name based on its GUID.
