To change the retention time of admin alerts, run dsconfig.
```
$ bin/dsconfig set-backend-prop --backend-name "alerts" \ 
  --set "alert-retention-time: 2 weeks"
```
After this time, the information is purged from the Directory Server. The minimum retention time is 0 milliseconds, which immediately purges the alert information.

To view the alert-retention-time property, use dsconfig.

$ bin/dsconfig get-backend-prop --backend-name "alerts" \
  --property alert-retention-time
