• Purge Data Older Than — Set the number of the days (1-365) to keep the compressed data and the event logs.
The default is 365 days.
• Schedule Database Purging Daily at — Set the time of day to start database purging (00:00:00 - 23:00:00). The
default is 23:00:00.
• Export Database — Export the data in a selected date range to a .csv file. Click Export Database, and define a
start and end date to export all the data between 00:00:00 of the start date to 00:00:00 of the next day after the
end date to a .csv file. By default, the .csv file is saved in the Downloads folder of your Web browser. The
following data is exported:
– Measurement data of supported devices (excludes groups) — There is no measurement data for
unsupported devices.
– Hourly data — Hourly data is the data collected during the hour before (timestamp - 1). For example, if
the timestamp of the data is 14:00:00, the PowerAvg field displays the average power from 13:00:00 to
14:00:00.
NOTE: If there is no data available at the defined timestamp, this field displays -1.
The .csv file includes the following fields:
– DeviceId — Power Center internal device unique ID
– DeviceType — Device type; for example, Server, PDU, UPS or CMC
– DeviceName — Device name
– DeviceIP — Device IP address
– Timestamp — Data timestamp
– PowerAvg — Average power value
– PowerMin — Minimum power value
– PowerMax — Maximum power value
– InletTemperatureAvg — Average inlet temperature value
– InletTemperatureMin — Minimum inlet temperature value
– InletTemperatureMax — Maximum inlet temperature value
• Purge Database Now — You can manually purge the database at anytime. Once you click Purge Database Now,
Power Center immediately purges the database according to your setting in Purge Data Older Than. Once
completed, you will see the informative event Database Maintenance Success in the Event Logs page.
Installation Settings

Center supports database settings changes for local and remote systems on both Windows and Linux servers.

changes, then restart Power Center services. For information on stopping and starting services, see your Windows
operating system Help.
