Maintenance Wizard

The Maintenance Wizard lets you remove data from the EventSentry database that has become obsolete or is invalid. Please note that you can also purge old data automatically with supported databases.

With the Maintenance Wizard you can remove the following data:

Remove all instances (data) of a computer

Removes all data collected by a computer. This is useful when a computer has been decommissioned or is not available anymore.

Remove only certain instances of a computer

Removes certain data collected by a computer, for example you can remove all disk space data from a selected computer, or all performance data.

Remove a Performance Counter

Removes all data from a performance counter either from a selected or from all computers.

Remove a Logical Drive

Removes all data from a selected logical drive, for example when a disk has been removed or the drive letter has changed.

Remove Nessus Scan

Removes all data associated with a Nessus scan from the database. All data that was collected during the selected scan will be removed from the database.

Remove a Comment

Removes a comment from the database.

Remove a Group

Removes a group from the database. This does not delete all data from all groups, it merely removes the selected group from the list of groups.

Remove a Filter

Removes a filter from the database. This does not delete all event log data associated with this filter, it merely removes the selected filter from the list of filters.

Delete old Data

Removes old data from the database. For example, you can delete old event log data or old disk space data from a selected or all computers. Depending on the speed and size of your database, deleting old data can take a very long time and we recommend against using this feature during peak business hours. Please note that you can also purge old data automatically with supported databases.
