Discovery Definition Data Records
This screen manages retention of data retrieved and retained from service discovery. It only appears
if you have the service discovery option installed.
Figure 25-7. Discovery Definition Data Records
Successful service discovery deletes most retrieved data as it creates service instances in the
OpenManage Network Manager database. Remnants of incomplete or interrupted discovery, device
configuration files or CSV files of customers may remain, however, and this DAP deletes such data
from the database. Configure the number of days to retain this data as is appropriate for your
system. Best practice is to remove the retained data relatively soon (one or two days).
Event History DAP Parameters
This screen configures the archiving of events (notifications).
Figure 25-8. Event History DAP Parameters
Select how long you want to keep events, and whether you want them archived after they are
discarded.
Inventory Change and Tracking DAP Parameters
In addition to the General Info screen, creating or editing inventory change or inventory change
tracking policies let you set retention policies for these records.
