Remove / Delete Disconnected Clients in Insight

I don't think this is possible, as I've not found a way to do this at all, but in the Clients tab, I have a growling list of disconnected clients that just won't even be here again - some clients were transitory - so how does this list get managed so that clients which are no longer of any interested can be removed instead of this growing into a monster database table?     Can NetGlear place a button to remove discovered disconnected clients since if they appear again, they will just be rediscovered to keep the client's table running quick/smooth without unnecessary data from transient clients?

    Had a site with a lot of public clients, the list growed fast. Had several sessions with Netgear around various issues, including these massive lists. After a while, the list started to clean out. No idea about the design intention eg. on a garbage collection scheme or if they had run some actions on the cloud side.

  • Would make sense to have too options,

     

    1) purge now,

    2) purge if not reseen after x hours.

     

    Wouldn't seem too hard to implement to make this easier to spot items of interest.

    Yes, of course. There should be some longer cycles to be considered - this can depend widely on the kind of site usage - day, days, a week, one month.

     

    Easy to implement - I don't know ... as this information might co-exist on the individual node, too.

    Just learnt the purging happens after 30 days currently.
