  • 1.  Seting up a new ilmt

    Posted 12/13/21 08:33 AM

    Hi Team,

    WE are moving our ILMT server infra to new DC from scratch, we built new ILMT there, bigfix root server will remain as is.

    My query is for current ILMT, we want to keep our old ILMT live for some time without Data source, only ILMT infra so that customer can download its old reports and etc. Can we remove the data source from ILMT? we want to use this ILMT to get old reports and in the meanwhile we will setup new infra.

    We dont have option of database migration possible here we have already checked that we have to built the new ILMT only.

    So can we keep this old ILMT live just to download old reports, but we have to remove the datasource of our bigfix server how can we do that? Is there any way in which we can do that?

    As per the Sub-capacity license requirements you have to keep audit snapshots for at least 2 years only:

    Here you go procedure for generating audit snapshot:

    Answering your question directly, I think it is enough to disable imports:
