The Archived Events tab allows you to read previously collected audit data that has been moved to an archive database for storage.
Available actions
Page through events
Allows you to page through the list of events. Use the previous and next arrows to navigate from page to page, up and down the list.
Update databases to use optimized indexes
Allows you to update archive and event databases generated with earlier versions of IDERA SQL Compliance Manager. Updating the databases applies optimized indexes that improve the Management Console performance.
To update the databases, click the provided link. Be aware that this update process requires free disk space, may be resource-intensive, and may take some time to complete. Consider performing database updates during non-peak hours.
Create customized view
Allows you to create a custom version of this tab. You can change the data that is displayed by selecting different columns. You also can save your customizations to view later.
Attach
Allows you to load audit data stored in the archive database so you can view and run reports on the events. By default, SQL Compliance Manager loads events from the most recently created archive database.
Detach
Allows you to remove the selected archive database. Removing the archive prevents users from viewing and running reports on the audit data stored in the database.
Filters
Allows you to filter the listed events by time span (for example, last seven days) or event category (for example, security).
Enable Groups
Allows you to group events by a specific property, such as the audited SQL Servers affected by the events or the times the events occurred. Enable groups when you want to sort the events or focus on a particular event attribute.
Archives Properties
Allows you to view details about the selected archive database.
Refresh
Allows you to update the Archives list with current data.
Event Properties
Allows you to view details about the selected event.
