Purge Dashboard Data

The Enterprise Dashboard lets you purge historical event logs and metrics that are older than a specified date and time. You can also purge registries from the database that you deleted through the Registry Configuration page. For more information, see Configure Registries.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Options in the upper right corner of the window and select Purge Data.

   The Purge Data dialog opens.

2. Select a date and time for the data that you want to purge.

   The purge feature permanently deletes all event logs and metrics from the database that are older than the specified date and time.

   The default values delete event logs and metrics that are 100 days older than the current date and time.

3. Select the Purge registries marked for deletion check box to permanently delete all registries from the database that you deleted through the Registry Configuration page.

   Note: Deleting a registry through the Registry Configuration page removes the registry from the dashboard. However, the historical data for that registry is not automatically purged from the database. Selecting this check box permanently removes deleted registries from the database and all event logs, metrics, and components that are associated with the registry.

4. Click OK.

   A confirmation dialog opens.

5. Click Yes.

   The selected data is purged from the Enterprise Dashboard.
