Use the Maintenance page (Settings icon > Database Settings > Maintenance) to change settings for weekly database maintenance. The maintenance task can be configured to start at any time during the week, to be coordinated with other maintenance activities performed by your organization.
Data collection is automatically suspended during maintenance. During this time, the NetMRI browser interface is also disabled, displaying only a status message indicating that maintenance is being performed.
When archiving completes at the end of each maintenance cycle, the NetMRI appliance resumes data collection.
Note
Because NetMRI data collection and analysis are automatically disabled during archiving, the archive process should be performed during off-hours whenever possible. Weekly maintenance can take several hours to complete, depending on the size of the database.
To configure weekly maintenance, do the following:
- Go to the Settings icon > Database Settings > Maintenance.
- In the Status menu, choose one of the following:
- Enabled: Enables weekly maintenance.
- Disabled: Disables weekly maintenance.
If you choose Disabled, go to step 6.
- In the Day of Week menu, choose the day when you want to perform maintenance.
- In the Hour to Start menu, choose the time when you want to perform maintenance.
- In the Archive Database menu, choose one of the following:
- Enabled: Enables database archiving during weekly maintenance.
- Disabled: Disables database archiving during weekly maintenance.
- Click Update.
