Displaying Historical Data

Axonius saves daily “snapshots” of all the collected data, which you can view for any query on the Asset Profile page. This enables you to look at various assets for a specific date without having to go back to the relevant asset table to adjust the dates.

To view query results for a specific date, click 'Display by Date' on the top right hand corner above the Asset Profile table.

A date picker control opens, enabling you to select the desired date. By default, the latest day for which data was collected is displayed. Note that you can only select one date.

Notice that only dates with collected data are enabled as options for choice.
The system then displays the historical snapshot data of the page as it was presented on the date you selected.

To clear the historical view and set back to latest, hover over the displayed date and click on the 'X' next to the displayed date.
