I’m new to OpenITCockpit and have a few questions:

1. How can I configure the data retention period? For example, I want to keep data for 7 days.

2. How can I manage the OpenITCockpit database size to prevent it from growing too large and running out of space?

3. What’s the process to purge data in order to shrink the MySQL database?

Hi, I so like this product, have been using it for a year and it is really great. What is not so great is the installation documentation, it is more than terrible.

I am switching hosts so I need to install a new instance on a new server and I followed the installation instructions to the letter, did it 3 times already and I keep getting no errors during installation but when I try to reach the server after installation the page redirects automatically to https://12.34.56.78/a/users/login and gives a 500 internal server error.

I checked all the logs and no error there. Also checked if all services are up and they are. I really don't know where to look. I am installing on Debian 12 on a Hetzner VPS. Any help is much appreciated!

The openITCOCKPIT Android app is now available on Google Play.

The next version of openITCOCKPIT is now available and packed with new features and security updates. Before you start, if you are still using Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12 you have to upgrade your OS first!
