You must have the Manage Storage Groups permission to use this feature.
Search performance can be affected by your environment’s set up and the way that your data is organized. To enable faster search times, you can configure Recon to organize data into storage groups, which represent partitions in the ArcSight database. These storage groups can support compliance requirements for data retention policies, such as those for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). For example, you might be required to retain certain data for 12 to 24 months. You can instruct Recon to purge data that is older than a certain number of months. By deleting data, you reduce the amount of content within the database and improve search performance.
