Run the opEvents Purge Command

The purge action is run with the opevents-cli.exe command line utility.  When using this utility the retention period is relative to the current time and is referred to as 'purge_older_than'.  The value passed with the command my be expressed in minutes, hours, or days (combinations are also possible).  Using days as an example, if the retention period were 1 year the command line option for the retention period would like like this:

Code Block
languagetext
 act=purge_older_than_=365d

 

First run the command in simulate mode to ensure the math is correct
