21.2 Data Management Tab
Maintenance operations on the VIGIL Server Database can be performed on this tab. These operations can be
performed while VIGIL Server is running.
Purge Data
To purge data, select the type of data you wish to purge; Video/Audio Footage, POS Data or Video Analytics
Data. Specify a date range in the From and To boxes or choose Purge All, click the Purge button to purge the
Selected Data. Warning: This is a permanent deletion of the data itself.
Note: VIGIL Server is designed to manage the purging of data; it will delete the oldest hour of
video footage or the oldest POS / Video Analytics Data automatically before the data drives become
full. Under normal operating conditions, there is no need to manually purge Data.
Rebuild Database
The Rebuild Database feature rebuilds the database entries for all of the footage on the selected drives. Click
the Rebuild button, select the drive(s) to rebuild and click OK to rebuild the selected drives. During the rebuild
process the Sentinel ‘No Footage Recorded within the last 24 hours’ warning may display, this is expected as
the database of the footage is being rebuilt.
Reset Initial Footage Date
The DVR Health Monitor software uses the initial footage date in VIGIL Server to determine if the DVR is
recording the proper number of days of video storage. Click the Reset button to reset the cached date of the
first video footage recorded by the DVR to the oldest footage currently on the DVR. Please refer to the DVR
Health Monitor software Users Guide, or contact eLine for more information.
