You need to amend the values of KEEP_JOBS_HOURS and KEEP_JOBS_SUCCESSFUL_HOURS.

There are (or certainly appears to be) various ways to change these settings - bp.conf entries, bpdbjobs, bpsetconfig of which the first two are covered in the Admin Guide & the odd T/N:

Please note that this will put additional load on your master.
(I cannot tell you how much because all of our customers are happy with a couple of days in Activity Monitor and use reports and/or OpsCenter for the rest.)

Jobs are by default kept for 3 days (78 hours).

To update current NBU session:
bpdbjobs -keep_hours <hours> 

To change permanently, update bp.conf:
KEEP_JOBS_HOURS = <hours>
