11.2 Overriding Inventory History Purge Settings at the Device Level

You can configure inventory history purge settings for the selected device or server. These settings allow you to remove the inventory history and application usage data as necessary.

The Purge Inventory History panel allows you to configure settings to remove the inventory history and the usage data. You can remove records from the database for the products and components that were previously marked for deletion and you can also delete software application usage data, network software usage data, and Web application usage data that is older than the value you set. By default, all the data is stored in the database unless this setting is configured. Device level purging is based on the Zone level purging schedule.
