Hi,

We are trying to change the default retention from 240 minutes (4 hours) to 3 days.  I've searched through the documentation without any luck.  I'm sure it's a simple setting it's just a matter of knowing where to find it.  Can someone please help.  We are running xymon 4.3.2.

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure you are discussing the "event list" below the dot-grid 
found on the non-green page.

Look the man page for xymongen where there are several options outlined:
--max-eventcount=N
    Limit the eventlog on the "All non-green" page to only N events. Default: 100.

--max-eventtime=N
    Limit the eventlog on the "All non-green" page to events that happened within the past N minutes. Default: 240.

--no-eventlog
    Disable the eventlog normally displayed on the "All non-green" page
and
--eventignore=test[,test]
    Ignore these tests in the "All non-green" event log display.
my line in tasks.cfg looks like:
CMD xymongen $XYMONGENOPTS --report --no-showemptygroups --maxrows=20 --max-eventcount=50 --max-eventtime=120 --eventignore=msgs,diskio
Yours will end up having --max-eventtime=4320
