Erase History
Erase History is a feature that allows you to collect all your operations' history. Once any KillDisk Industrial operation completes the results of this operation are added to the Erase History Log stored in the local database and are available to use with any of the features explained below.
To access the Erase History do one of the following:
- In the file menu bar: navigate to or
- Press CTRL + L
Action Toolbar Options
- Export
- Exports an available Erase History Log into external database.
Note: The button is dimmed when the connection has been established.
- Export to CSV
- Provides export to standard CSV-file (comma-separated-values file): User should specify the Path to Store and the standard filters available (2 radio groups to select: Result and Date and Time). If the export succeeded the following message box appears:
- Connect
- Allows user to connect to an external database to export erase logs with existing database connection. User can specify all the necessary data in this dialog or in Preferences
section. After providing required credentials and establishing a database connection KillDisk Industrial is
able to export certificates and reports as well as Erase History logs to the external database. Note: The button is dimmed when the connection has been established.
- Disconnect
- Disconnects and stops exporting to the external SQL database. However, Erase History still kept and accumulating in the local
database.
Note: The button is dimmed when there is no connection to external database.

Additional Options
- Show Batches View

- Show Filters
- Shows/hides standard filters panel (2 radio groups to select: Result and Date and Time)
- Show Processes Without Batch
- Shows processing results' history for each individual disk (Disk Without Batch Processing Results)
For the individual disk history: completed processes can be viewed, filtered with applied standard filters and sorted by attributes like
Name, Status, Order Id etc. By clicking Right Mouse Click on Disk Processing
Results table headers user is able to create a custom set of data.
Note: Export and Connect - both features share the same fields/interface for database connection.
Generally speaking, user can maintain 2 modes for export Erase History: one-at-a-time export and real-time export
modes. Export is a one-at-a-time transaction. Connect establishes and maintains
real-time connection, so there are 2 replicas of Erase History at a time: local and remote.
