Export Custom Fields

[helpdesktrv]

Hi,
I'd like to export custom fields of computers and other devices in order to filter them via Excel.
Could you please help me?
Thank you in advance best regards

For 1000 computers a database size of 1.5 to 3GB is within the expected range. However, you could optimize your cleanup options so that historical data is purged from your database more frequently. This will keep overall size down.

Cleanup options can be found in your Lansweeper configuration console under Scanning Servers\Your Server\Options\Scanning & Cleanup Options. Items of interest are the following:

Delete history from all history tables after
Delete event log entries after
Delete logon information after

Event log information in particular takes up a lot of database space. When you've made changes to your settings, restart the Lansweeper service to immediately apply them.

Hello Lansweeper
thanks a lot for your suggestion.
I've another question for you: our MDF file is almost 2GB, so, can i optimize it in any way? Is there a way?

Thanx again.

How many computers are currently in your database?
