Page History

IDERA SQL Inventory Manager users can mark instances and databases as "decommissioned" within the product, thereby preventing erroneous alerting yet retaining the data for historical purposes. Decommissioned items are not monitored, do not trigger alerts or recommendations, and do not count against your IDERA SQL Inventory Manager license. The data stored before an item is decommissioned remains in the repository database, but is only included in the Decommissioned tab in the Instances view and the Decommissioned Databases list at the bottom of the Instance Details view.

On the Decommissioned view, IDERA SQL Inventory Manager allows you to perform several actions on a single instance as well as bulk actions on several selected instances. 

...

If you no longer want to manage an instance, you can remove it by selecting the respective instance, going to More Actions on the action items bar, and selecting Remove. You can also find this option by clicking the gear icon next to the instance. IDERA SQL Inventory Manager displays all removed instances on the Ignored instances view. For more information about removing instances click here.

...

Select an instance and click Recommission on the action items bar. You can also find this option by clicking the gear icon next to the respective instance. On the confirmation message dialog, verify the correct instance(s) appears, and then click Yes. Note that the instance disappears from the Decommissioned tab and appears on the Managed tab. Remember that this instance is now active and does count against your IDERA SQL Inventory Manager license.

...

On the left section of this view you can find options for filtering your instances by Instance Tags, Owner, Location, Minor Version, and Major Version. Use these filters to quickly access specific instances that you want IDERA SQL Inventory Manager to display on this view. For example, you can choose to display the list of decommissioned instances that have a specific tag in your environment. 

Creating a useful filter to "weed out" unnecessary information takes time but is important when managing large environments. As a result, you may want to save that filter for future use. IDERA SQL Inventory Manager now allows you to save filters for use in the Explorer and Instances views. Simply create the filter, and then click Save as Explorer favorite or click Save as Instances favorite, depending on which view you are in when creating the filter. To use that filter, click Load Explorer favorite or click Load Instances favorite.

You can enable or disable the option Apply filter as it changes depending if you want to see the changes as you apply the filter, or if you prefer to select your filters first and see the results when you finish.
