What is Purging?
"Purging" refers to deleting old
records from the message logs, to
free up additional hard-drive space,
and allow reports to run faster.
Purging can be done manually, and
can also be set to occur automatically
(when the message log reaches an
unmanageable size).
Note: Purging pertains to activity messages
and/or panel communications and database-update
logs (from all defined accounts).
Tip:
To have the data available for running reports in
the future, use the
archive
feature instead (previous /
above).
