Console - Purge Data

The management console automatically maintains response time data along with your specified application, server, and network definitions, so it is typically not necessary to purge data. If necessary, you can purge all data and definitions, or purge a particular type of data, for example, 5-minute data, for a particular time period. You cannot recover data after you purge.

Frequently Asked Questions
