DATA MANAGEMENT - DATA PURGE PERIODS

To access this page, click the Advanced Settings button in the DATA MANAGEMENT - DATABASE SETTINGS page.

Using this page, you can configure cleanup frequencies for the specific tests and the detailed diagnosis data reported by specific tests. This page displays the default cleanup frequencies for tests executing on All managed component-types (by default). In the default scenario therefore, if a large number of components have been managed in your environment, then, a long list of tests will appear in this page making it difficult for you to locate the tests of interest to you. In such situations, you can narrow your search for tests by picking a particular Component type from this page. This way, only those tests that execute on the chosen type and their default diagnosis frequencies will be listed. You can override the default frequencies by changing them. To save the changes, click the Update button.

To allow you to quickly search for a test/multiple tests, a Search text box has been included where you can specify the whole/part of the test. The results of your search will be displayed as and when you type the search string in the Search text box.

Some tests may be common to more than one component type - for eg., Network test, operation system-level tests, etc. Such tests will be listed under each of these Component types in this page. However, once the diagnosis cleanup frequency of such a test is changed for one component type, it will automatically change the diagnosis cleanup frequency for this test across all other associated component types as well.

Also, if you want the frequency that you have configured for one test to be applied to one/more other tests, regardless of the component-type to which they are mapped, you need not manually change the frequency of each test to this effect. All you need to do instead is follow a simple sequence of mouse clicks to effortlessly update multiple tests across component types with the diagnosis cleanup frequency of a single test. For this, click on the icon alongside the source test - i.e., the test with a diagnosis frequency that needs to be applied to other tests.
