Delete Asset Information History as an Administrative Task in IGEL UMS

When you use Asset Inventory Tracker (AIT), you should periodically delete asset history as a part of performance optimization, see Performance Optimizations in IGEL UMS.

The administrative task Delete asset information history helps you to delete asset history, i.e. a log of events that are sent to the UMS when a peripheral is plugged in to the endpoint or unplugged.

This administrative task deletes only asset history, but NOT the current asset information (which is displayed for the selected endpoint in the UMS Console > Devices > Asset Inventory and in the UMS Web App > Devices > Peripherals if the AIT is activated and license requirements are met).

Menu path: UMS Administration > Administrative Tasks > Dialog Create Administrative Task > Action "Delete asset information history"
