Archive Inactive Assets

Keep your Assets view clean by archiving endpoints that have stopped reporting. Archiving hides assets from the default Assets tab view — no data is deleted. All previously collected files remain fully searchable and available for detections and YARA rule matching.

When to Archive

Consider archiving an asset if it:

• Is no longer checking in the web app
• Is decommissioned, reimaged, or no longer expected to return
• Is cluttering your Assets view

Method 1: Archive Directly in the UI (Admin Only)

Note: This option is available to administrators only.

1. Navigate to the Assets tab in Stairwell.
2. Locate the asset(s) you want to archive. Use the Last seen filter to surface inactive assets quickly.
3. Select the asset(s), then right-click it.
4. Choose Archive Assets from the context menu.

The asset will no longer appear in the default Assets view.

What Happens After Archiving

• Archived assets are removed from the Assets tab view
• No data is deleted — all collected files, detections, and history are preserved
• Assets remain searchable and continue to trigger YARA rule matches on historical data
