A cloud deployment appliance includes a mechanism to enable permitted users to move event records reliably from an internal event log of the appliance to a data store located external to the appliance while ensuring the integrity of event records. The mechanism ensures that the event records are not tampered with in storage or during download. Further, the approach ensures that no event records can be removed from the appliance internal storage before being successfully downloaded to the external data store.

Ensuring integrity of security event log upon download and delete

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for modifying storage configuration. A monitor module monitors a storage fullness of a storage configuration. If the storage fullness exceeds a policy threshold, a modification module modifies the storage configuration. If the storage fullness does not exceed the policy threshold, an analysis module analyzes a system state and compares the system state with a trend algorithm. If the storage fullness exceeds a discretionary threshold and the system state satisfies the trend algorithm, the modification module modifies the storage configuration.
