Configure Storage Policies in Vision

Use Vision's Storage Policy Configuration to improve performance and increase scalability by reducing the amount of data stored in the Vision database. With this application, you can define the type of data to include in Vision reporting and analytic results for devices and their specified data groups. The type of data can be either current and historical data, or current data only.

  1. On the Vision Configuration menu, click Storage Policy to display the Storage Policy Configuration dialog box with Vision's default configuration.

  2. For each device and its associated data group, select one of the following data types to use in generating Vision reporting and analytic results:

    Vision stores the latest data value with history for the device's specified data group.

    Vision stores the latest data value only (without history) for the device's specified data group.

    Analytic results cannot be generated from the Store Latest Data Only selection.

  3. Click Save to store the new configuration.
