Purging Monitoring Data

Clear old data from the monitoring database.

Using the Purge function in Sybase Control Center allows you to perform an ad hoc purge of monitoring data.

  1. In the left navigation pane, select Monitoring.
  2. In the right administration pane, select the General tab.
  3. Click Purge.
  4. Indicate the time period for which you want to delete data by specifying a Start Date, Start Time, End Date, and End Time.
    All monitoring data collected from the start time and date to the end time and date is deleted from the database. If you do not specify a start date, all data acquired prior to the end date and time is purged. Similarly, if you do not specify an end date, all data collected from the start date until the present time is purged. To save the data to file before purging it, see Exporting Monitoring Data.
  5. Click OK.
A status message appears in the right administration pane indicating that the data purge was successfully completed.
