Can I change the size of reserved space?

Some users might want to reasonably change the size of reserved space because of some user's requirements and need to keep larger space for longer retention days. In Nx Witness, this can be configured via the following steps:

1. Open the Web Admin.
2. Navigate to the Settings menu.
3. Click on Servers.

4. Add ?advanced= to the URL and hit enter. The URL will look like this:

   https://<serverIp>:port/#/settings/servers/<serverId>?advanced=

   For example:

   https://localhost:7001/#/settings/servers/ff72f898-3067-2685-87a6-1b2e96fabc49?advanced=

5. Scroll down and enter the desired value in the Reserved space field to meet your use case.
