Purging Monitoring Data

Clear old data from the monitoring database.

Using the Purge function in SAP 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. 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.
