The generated file(s) are time-stamped and stored in %PATROL_HOME%\log for the specific time set through the History Retention Period parameter.

noteThe history retention period can be set from the PATROL Console or from the PATROL Agent using a configuration variable. The default collection (retention) period is one day. Whenever a stored parameter value exceeds its retention period, it is automatically deleted from the parameter history file. Refer to BMC documentation for details.
