Deleting Objects from the Inventory List View
You may want to delete objects from the reporting database. If you choose to delete
an object (if you have privileges) you are irretrievably deleting the object from the reporting database. All related historical data will also be permanently deleted from the database and unavailable in all reports. A pop-up window warns you of this action to prevent inadvertent deletions. This is an audited action and requires a password before deletion can proceed. See also,
Decommission/Recommission Hosts and Backup Servers.
You can also delete hosts from the
Host Management view. See
Deleting Hosts.
