Clear DB

Warning

Before clearing the database, make sure that you have access to a recent backup!

Important

After clearing the database, we highly recommend rebooting the IP Fabric appliance. This is especially important if you have experienced issues with a low amount of available RAM and a lot of memory data was moved to the disk swap.

In rare cases, it might be necessary to delete and recreate the IP Fabric database. To do that, navigate to Settings → System → Backup & Maintenance and click Clear DB.

When running Clear DB, all loaded snapshots are automatically unloaded, and the database recreated.
