Resetting MC to Pre-Configured State

If you decide to reset MC to its original, preconfigured state, you can do so on the Diagnostics page by clicking Factory Reset.

Tip: Consider trying one of the options described in Restarting MC first.

A factory reset removes all metadata (about a week's worth of database monitoring/configuration information and MC users) from storage and forces you to reconfigure MC again, as described in Configuring MC in Installing Vertica.

After you click Factory Reset, you have the chance to export audit records to a file by clicking Yes. If you click No (do not export audit records), the process begins. There is no undo.

Keep the following in mind concerning user accounts and the MC.
