Here is an MDM 11 link about Understanding the different approaches to loading data . I am not aware of any tutorial.

Have you tried manually restarting the node agents?

Or in worst case, reboot the server (always a last resort).

Purged means deleted. You could take a screen shot one day and another one the next day to show which log entries got purged.
