Configuring Disk Space Usage - Novell SENTINEL LOG MANAGER 1.0.0.5 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 03-31-2010 Administration Manual

3. If an event meets the criteria for more than one of the data retention policies, the following
guidelines are used to determine, which data retention policy should be applied:
If the maximum retention period of a policy is shorter than the others, that policy is
applied. (If the maximum retention period is not specified for a policy, then the policy is
considered to have a long maximum retention period.)
If multiple matching policies have the same shortest maximum retention period, the policy
with the longest minimum retention period is applied.
If multiple matching policies have the same shortest maximum retention period and the
same longest minimum retention period, the system arbitrarily applies one of the policies.
