20.2 Data Management Tab
Maintenance operations on the VIGIL Server Database can be performed on this tab. These operations can be per-
formed 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. Spec-
ify 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 foot-
age or the oldest POS / Video Analytics Data automatically before the data drives become full. Under nor-
mal 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 VIGIL Server Health Monitor software uses the initial footage date in VIGIL Server to determine if the VIGIL Server
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 VIGIL Server to the oldest footage currently on the VIGIL Server. Please refer to the
VIGIL Server Health Monitor software Users Guide, or contact 3xLOGIC for more information.
