Data Management

Configure the settings for the collection of data from endpoints and the removal of data from the server. To access these settings, select Settings > Data Management. The available data types are listed and include options for collecting and purging data. Where data has been collected, the number of events raised for each data type displays.

Configure Data Collection

Select the Collection check boxes for the data type you want to analyze. Data for the selected areas is collected from endpoints which have the Insight Agent installed and included set up to communicate with your server. The data is then analyzed and used in the appropriate Insight report.

Changing which data types are collected for can impact Insight reports functionality.

To further configure Data Collection, enter an Insight version number in the Minimum Agent Version section of the Data Management option. The server will only collect data from agents which match the version specified or are newer.

Remove Data from an Insight Server

Permanently remove unwanted data from your Insight server. You can purge all collected data or only that which relates to particular data types. Following a purge, data is permanently removed from the server and data collection starts again for purged data types. You have the following options when removing data:

• Remove data for individual data types - Click PURGE for the required data type.
• Remove data for all data types - Click PURGE ALL.
• Remove data for all data types based on the age of the data - In the Purge by Age settings, enter the required number of days and click PURGE NOW. All data for the applications selected for collection, which is older than the entered period of time, is deleted.

To set up a recurring task based on these settings, select Automatically run this task daily, otherwise data is kept indefinitely.
