Deleting ITM On-Prem (ObserveIT) Session Data
This topic describes how to schedule a job that will delete ITM On-Prem (ObserveIT) session data which is screenshots and metadata. In addition, Delete removes Alerts, System events and fully completed upgrade sets.
To schedule a deletion, define the which date range for the data you want to delete and the frequency. You can exclude users/endpoints whose sessions you don't want to delete.
To enable this feature, the option Allow deletion of session data must be selected in the System Settings page of the Web Console.
To schedule a data deletion job:
-
In the Schedule Archive page (Configuration > Storage Management > Archive), under Scheduler mode, select the Delete option.
-
In the Date Range Settings section, specify a date range for the deleted data by age or duration. Select one of the following options.
-
by age: Delete data that is older than a specified number of Days, Weeks, or Months. All sessions older than this will be delete . Note that you cannot select a time range that is less than three days from the current time on the database. The default date range is older than 1 month.
-
by duration: Delete data in the specified date range.

In the Time Settings section, schedule how to execute the data handling job you scheduled.

once on: the job executes at regular intervals. For example every weeks on Sunday at 12:00 am.
-
once now: the job executes on a specific date and time
The job executes when you click Save Changes
