How many events can be stored in "Events" in Orion???

How many events can be stored in the section "Events" Orion, I searched when a server is added and since 2000 have events and does not appear. The server was added on September 12 but the only events I appear from September 13.

It is assumed that the event would have to be aggregation to Orion.

The default retention for 'Events' is 30 days. I believe you can still find this under the "Settings" -> "Polling Settings" and increase the "Events Retention" from the default of 30 to whatever you desire.

Per your posted question, you can retain as many days that you need. Though your database will increase in size when you increase the # of days of events retained, just be sure to watch your DB size and associated resources. This setting may be determined by your current SOP, management or other governing policy. If it is up to you to set then have at it, I have never gone passed 120 days with this setting, but usually settle between 65-95 days for 2-3 full months of retention.

sound like a bad idea to me ...keep those tables as Solarwinds recommends 30 days

Its just like overloading the the database with SNMP traps that are not used....

must keep them try forward those important events/alerts to a external syslog or siem

looking at this from a different perspective i know you you asked 'How many events can be stored in the section "Events" Orion,' this query will return the all the types of events that can be stored in the events table.

You can even spruce it up with this

select * from Events

Where EventType = 9
