Purging Sensor Data from the Configuration and Management Database

Use the managedb purge command to remove sensor data from the configuration and management database without archiving them.

You must be superuser to use this command.

You can specify a time parameter with the managedb purge command; sensor data older than the time parameter is purged. The time parameter is the same as for the managedb archive command. See “Archiving Sensor Data from the Configuration Database” for a description of the time parameter.

The following command purges sensor data older than two weeks:

# managedb purge 2w

For more information on the managedb command, see managedb(8).

The archive.cron script enables you to automate the process of archiving sensor data from the CMDB. For more information on this script, see archive.cron(4).
