2 Remove unnecessary data from the database
After you tell WhatsUp Gold to collect data from only passive monitors that are assigned
to devices, the next step is to clear the unneeded data already collected from the
database.
This can be done in one of two ways.
The fastest way is to remove all passive monitor data collected by the application. This
removes all passive monitor data that appears in the SNMP Trap Log (on page 692),
Syslog Entries (on page 693), and Windows Event Log (on page 696) reports. Any actions
triggered by an incoming passive monitor event will still appear in the Action Log (on
page 687).
Important: We recommend making a backup of your WhatsUp Gold database should you
need to reverse any of the following changes.
To remove all passive monitor data from the WhatsUp database:
1 Stop all Ipswitch services and applications:
Ipswitch WhatsUp Engine
Ipswitch Web Server$WhatsUp
Ipswitch Discovery
Ipswitch Alert Center
Ipswitch Flow Collector
