Clearing part of Inventory DB

Avatar
Robert Mahler

I created a custom file scan to pull information I needed.  When I'm done needing the file information is there a way to clean it from the inventory DB to keep the DB as clean and small as possible?

    Hi Robert,

    You do have a few options to choose from:

    1. Delete the custom scan profile from the Scan Profiles completely and the data associated with it will also be removed. 

    2. Edit the custom scan profile to create a null reference.  For example if you're searching for *.xml change the search to *.xmlx this won't yield the proper results.  The caveat to this option is that you'll have to rescan your machines with the "broken" scan profile to remove the previous results and you'll have a scan profile that doesn't work which could be frustrating down the road when you're trying to use it again and can't remember what changed.

     

    *** Note - If you want to save the scan profile for reference at another time consider exporting the custom scan profile by right clicking on it and choosing Export.***
