Delete and Re-collect Metric Values
In the case where the Source Data was corrected or updated after being loaded into the Metric Insights warehouse, you may need to delete the erroneous data and recollect the changed data. This can be accomplished on the Metric Editor following the simple steps below.
Option 1 - 'Delete existing Metric values' can be used if your data is being recollected on next scheduled data run
Option 2 - 'Recollect data' can be used to:
- Delete and Recollect data now
- Recollect only to replace missing input data
1. Select 'Delete existing Metric values '
1.1. Delete all
- Select "Yes" to delete all values
Delete
NOTE: Once the deletion has completed, the Delete link is no longer visible since all values were just deleted, there is no remaining data associated with this Metric
NOTE: When deleting metric values, any data associated with the original metric values such as annotations and alerts will be discarded, even if the value of the data point remains the same after recollection.
A new alert will be generated on a deleted and recollected data point only if the following 2 conditions are both true:
- The data point satisfies the Alert Rule criteria after recollection
- The data point falls within the Alert Window (e.g. if data is deleted and recollected for 2 days ago and the Alert Window is set to 2 days for Daily metrics). Alert Window is defined for each measurement interval under Admin > Reference Objects > Measurement Intervals
2. Select 'Recollect data'
2.1. Recollect Data

- Use the Calendar icon to set Collect from value to recollect data from that date/time to present
- You can choose to Delete existing data prior to recollecting by setting this option to 'yes' (applied to same date range as above option)
- Set 'Update Live Chart' to 'no' if you prefer to preview your results prior to actually updating the Metri
