Currently, Policy based retention for EventDB does not cover two event categories: (a) System events with phCustId = 0, e.g. a FortiSIEM External Integration Error, FortiSIEM process crash etc., and (b) Super/Global customer audit events with phCustId = 3, e.g. audit log generated from a Super/Global user running an adhoc query. These events are purged when disk usage reaches high watermark.
