For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality.

You can use the database purge page to purge discovery, identity, connection, and Security Intelligence data files from the FMC databases. Note that when you purge a database, the appropriate process is restarted.


Caution

Purging a database removes the data you specify from the Firepower Management Center. After the data is deleted, it cannot be recovered.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose System > Tools > Data Purge.

Step 2

Under Network Discovery, perform any or all of the following:

  • Check the Network Discovery Events check box to remove all network discovery events from the database.

  • Check the Hosts check box to remove all hosts and Indications of Compromise flags from the database.

  • Check the User Activity check box to remove all user activity events from the database.

  • Check the User Identities check box to remove all user login and user history data from the database.

Step 3

Under Connections, perform any or all of the following:

  • Check the Connection Events check box to remove all connection data from the database.

  • Check the Connection Summary Events check box to remove all connection summary data from the database.

  • Check the Security Intelligence Events check box to remove all Security Intelligence data from the database.

Note 

Checking the Connection Events check box does not remove Security Intelligence events. Connections with Security Intelligence data will still appear in the Security Intelligence event page (available under the Analysis > Connections menu). Correspondingly, checking the Security Intelligence Events check box does not remove connection events with associated Security Intelligence data.

Step 4

Click Purge Selected Events.

The items are purged and the appropriate processes are restarted.
