The Device Black Lists page allows you to specify devices that do not need to be tracked in Central.. Any device that is listed on this page will not store any information (Usage or Alerts) that is collected and sent to Central; additionally any previously collected data will be purged.. This could be particularly useful for non Managed assets or when specific assets do no longer fall under a contract and the data monitoring and storing might be restricted by an agreement.

The only information that will be maintained in the system is the identification data of the device. It is important to understand that once an existing device is blacklisted all historical data recorded will be completely deleted. The only possible recovery is to restore the entire Central database from an earlier backup
