The Activities tab

The Activities tab provides an overview of the activities during the last 90 days.

To customize the view of the Activities tab, click the gear icon and select the columns that you want to see. To see the activity progress in real time, select the Refresh automatically check box. Note that frequent updates of multiple activities might degrade the performance of the management server.

You can search the listed activities by the following criteria:

Device name
This is the machine on which the activity is performed.
Started by

This is the account who started the activity.

You can also filter the activities by the following properties:

Status

For example, succeeded, failed, in progress, or canceled.
Type

For example, applying plan, deleting backups, installing software updates.
Time
For example, the most recent activities, the activities from the past 24 hours, or the activities during a specific period within the default retention period.

To change the default retention period, edit the task_manager.yaml configuration file.

To change the retention period

On the machine running the management server, open the following configuration file in a text editor:
- In Windows: %Program Files%\Acronis\TaskManager\task_manager.yaml
- In Linux: /usr/lib/Acronis/TaskManager/task_manager.yaml

Locate the following section:

database:
  connection-string: ""
  run-cleanup-at: "23:59"
  cleanup-batch-size: 10
  max-cleanup-retries: 10
  log-queries: false
  max-transaction-retries: 10
  shards:
   - connection-string: sqlite://task-manager.sqlite
     days-to-keep: 90
     space: "default"
     key: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"

Edit the days-to-keep line as desired.

For example:
```
days-to-keep: 30
```
You can change the retention period according to your needs. Increasing the retention period degrades the performance of the management server.
Restart Acronis Service Manager Service as described in To restart Acronis Service Manager Service.
