Configure Auto Deletion Settings
AirTight Management Console stores historical information about the devices visible to it and the events
related to these devices. The rate of growth of this information is dependent on the volatility of the
wireless environment at the deployed location. It is necessary to delete this information periodically, as it
becomes obsolete after some time. This is done using the Configuration->System->Auto Deletion
option.
Based on the event-related configuration done by you, the system also raises and stores a number of
events. If the configuration is such that there are significant number of events generated and stored, the
stored event data size grows significantly faster. This event data also requires regular cleanup.
Auto deletion allows you to specify values of various auto deletion parameters to control the frequency of
deletion of information. The system generates an event for tracking the action of auto deletion. This event
gives information only about device deletion. There is no event separately generated that indicates event
deletion.
The auto-deletion parameters are related to access point, client, network events. These are explained in
detail below.
Access Point Deletion Parameters: The available AP categories are Uncategorized, Rogue,
External. Authorized APs are not deleting automatically from the system. If you want to delete inactive
authorized APs, you have to delete them manually.
Note: The control for some AP categories is available in specific deployments only.
Select the AP categories for which you want to set the auto-delete duration. Specify the number of days
of inactivity after which the AP related information is to be automatically deleted for the respective
