Elinore,

Feel free to delete the records in those tables. Crashing the server? It depends on how many records you'll be deleting, the size of your server, and how sensitive you are to user "timeouts," but I doubt you'll have a problem.

Create a series of escalations that run after 6pm which each delete chunks of records. Then create more escalations that delete these records once a week or so.

Hi All,

We are doing some major clean-up on our old server (ARS 5.1) to unclog
our db and was looking into truncating  records from the following
tables (that we have never used as reference for anything as far as I
know)

- Alert Events
- AR System Email Messages
- AR System Email Error Logs
- AR System Email Attachments

Any suggestions? Objections? Hesitations? Tips on how to not crash the
server while attempting to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Elinore
