Hi.

My question is how long actions that are expired will stay in the BES console? We are concerned about the longevity of tracking information.

Thanks,

Mingjie

I guess , expired actions will stay in the console as long as you don’t delete them.

“The BigFix Console will list every action that has been taken including every result from every BigFix Client. As the number of actions grows large, the BigFix Console will use more memory to load the actions and the cache load/write times increase. You can right click and delete old actions, which will mark them as deleted in the database. Once they are marked as deleted, the BigFix Console will no longer load them saving memory and load time. The actions will continue to be in the database after they are deleted, but they will not be accessible to the BigFix Console or to web reports.”
