Menu Selection: Event Cleanup
Minimum Required Authorization: PerleVIEW Administrator
PerleVIEW provides an event cleanup task that will remove old and/or acknowledged events from
the PerleVIEW database. This task can be run manually at any time or periodically on a configured
schedule.
By scheduling a regular cleanup task, this allows you to maintain only the events that are current and
relevant on your system.
