  • Review the Policy Discovery page to make sure that observation throttling isn't initiated.

Weekly

  • Run the Non Compliant Solidcore Agents query to identify systems in the enterprise that are not compliant.

  • Apply filters to suppress unneeded or irrelevant events.

  • Optionally, pull inventory for systems where throttling is reset.

Monthly

  • In addition to collating data on a centralized server, you can drop events from other ePO - SaaS servers. Use the Solidcore: Purge server task to purge data.

  • Routinely purge data for inventory, events, client task logs, and observations. We recommend that you purge:

    • Events older than 1 year (based on your auditing needs).

    • Client task logs older than 30 days.

    Note

    Based on your compliance requirements, you might choose to retain data older than three months. To understand implications of retaining older data on database requirements, see Determining database sizing.

  • Solidcore: Auto Purge Policy Discovery Requests server task is configured to automatically delete requests older than 1 month. This is an internal task that runs weekly by default.
