Reconfigure max history to fetch for the On Premises Engine
Updated over a week ago

If you initially setup the On Premise Engine to only scan back a short time and want to extend how far data is fetched for you'll need to follow these steps.

These steps assume you've installed the On Premise Engine at C:\sigparser folder.

  1. Stop the scheduled task if it is running

  2. Open the C:\sigparser\appsettings.json file

  3. Edit the historydaystoprocess value to be a larger value (example: 365 for a year)

  4. Save the C:\sigparser\appsettings.json file

  5. Copy the C:\sigparser\appsettings.json file to the EmailFetcher folder (overwrite the existing file)

  6. Delete the C:\sigparser\history folder

  7. Start the scheduled task and re-enable it if you disabled it

If you have a lot of mailboxes it can take a long time to fetch all the emails. It will go faster for emails that have already been processed but will still take a long time. It could take days or weeks depending on how many mailboxes and how many CPU cores you have configured.
