There is an option for Events Purge Interval - but the help page doesn't specify the syntax of possible values - what are they? (i.e. 3w, 6m, 1y, etc.)?

This can be specified in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks. For example, if the interval is to be specified as 90 days, then enter it as 90d.

Similaryly, 90w => 90 weeks

90h => 90 hours

90m => 90 minutes

90s => 90 seconds

for e.g 'dfm option set eventsPurgeInterval=90m'

If you do not specify any alphabet next to number it would default to seconds.

for e.g 'dfm option set eventsPurgeInterval=90' => 90 seconds

Also, there is a public KB article that explains the syntax and gives examples: https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb13992
