Access History Retention Policy

IdentityIQ (IIQ) IIQ Discussion and Questions

Hi,

In SailPoint IdentityIQ what is the retention policy for Access History Data. How long the Access History data is stored?

Regards,

@Prash AFAIK there is no expiration because IIQ is using it to build an identity timeline since the identity came to IIQ till date.

Hi @neel193

Do you have the information about the recommended RAM size for IdentityIQ Access History Database as the Database sizing guideline document has the information about the space but could not find anything related to RAM size.

Thanks,

@Prash There is no additional RAM configuration required. Access History module consumes more storage but from memory perspective no additional RAM is required. You can continue with current IIQ memory specifications and it should work.

I spoke to SP support awhile back and at that time there was no plan to add pruning capabilities to Access History, it was up to the customer to implement something. I believe the ideas portal has some requests for it.

Even if I can’t purge, I’d like to filter out what goes into Access History. I made a last login timestamp searchable and every time that updates IIQ thinks that’s a significant change to be added to the history. Also I have to remind auditors that the timestamp of the event is when the task “Dispatch Access History” ran, not the actual change.
