Detail

This is just an informational event. It just means that NTA database maintenance is removing details about endpoints (ip address, hostname, and others) from the database for which there is no longer any Flow data. This is due to the Flow data being cleared by maintenance i.e. No flows referring to these endpoints within the retention period (last 30 days by default).
