Note It is not recommended that you purge according to the maximum number of versions if you change many configurations each day. For example, if you have a known good configuration and then make 10 changes to it, you will have 11 versions stored in the archive. If you specify keeping only 10 versions in the archive, the known good configuration is purged because it is the oldest version. |
Step 3 Click Apply. A message shows that the changes to the archive were made.
After you perform maintenance tasks, verify that they were done:
Step 2 Select All Views and All Devices, then click Next. A second Change Audit - Filter Options dialog box appears.

Step 2 Scan the report to make sure that the software images you deleted are gone.
Step 2 Verify that the job you deleted is no longer on the report.
Step 2 Click Managed Devices.
Step 3 Verify that the devices you just added appear on the list.
Because the configurations are removed from the archive on a schedule, it is not necessary to verify the removals each time the job runs.
