Activate and Deactivate Storage Groups

To prevent new events from being sent to a storage group, you can deactivate the group. For example, you might no longer need a particular storage group or find that you have changed the filters and functionality of that group from its original purpose. Rather than continuing to modify an existing group, you can deactivate it. Alternatively, you might want to activate a storage group only during certain periods of time. Note that the system counts all groups, active or inactive, toward the maximum number of storage groups. Also, even though you deactivate a group, the deletion settings for that group remain in effect.

1. Select Configuration > Storage.
2. Select the storage group that you want to activate or deactivate.
3. To edit the group's settings, click the icon.

4. For Storage Group Status, slide the indicator left or right.

   Activated groups display a status of Active.

5. Click Save.
