■
The amount of hourly and daily data which has already been
collected. In this dialog box, you can specify the maximum amount of
data that you want the Traffix Manager databases to hold altogether.
You can carry out the following operations from the Database
Maintenance dialog box:
Clean databases
Clean the current Traffix Manager database by selecting from the
following options:
■
Delete all topology information. If you choose to delete topology
information, all connection data, all reports and all events are deleted
also.
■
Delete report instances, raw reports and HTML reports. See
Chapter 11 , “Overview of Reporting” for an explanation of these
terms.
■
Delete event rules and generated events. See Chapter 9 , “Using Event
Rules” .
When you clean a database, the agent configurations and local DNS
domains are not deleted. When you then start running against the
newly-cleaned database you will not see the startup wizard again, as the
agents and local DNS domains have already been configured from before
the clean.
In addition, after cleaning a database, collection is suspended for the
configured agents, so in order to start collecting data you have to turn off
the Suspend Collection option from the Configure Agents dialog box. If
you do want to use the startup wizard to reconfigure Traffix Manager,
you have to create a new database.
Repair databases
Certain types of corruption in your database can be detected and
repaired. If your Traffix Manager database becomes corrupt (for example,
if the machine is powered off when data is being written to the
database), Traffix Manager warns you and advises you to try using the
Repair Database utility.
If the database is still corrupt after using Repair Database, you will have to
revert to a backup of your database.
