Environment
SQL Server Management Studio

Cause
In SQL Server, a clustered index determines the physical order of data in a table. The purpose of indexing is to speed up the performance of queries which improves the retrieval of diagnostics information in Management Console > SystemLog

Resolution
*Warning: Irreparable database damage can occur. This procedure should only be performed by users familiar with SQL Server Management Studio. Databases should be backed up prior to performing this procedure.*

Timestamp index (CIX_Diagnostic_Timestamp) has been added to PME 2020. To add to older versions of PME, run the following query in SQL Server Management Studio:

USE [ION_SystemLog]
GO

/****** Object:  Index [CIX_Diagnostic_Timestamp]    Script Date: 3/18/2020 10:27:56 AM ******/
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [CIX_Diagnostic_Timestamp] ON [dbo].[Diagnostic]
(
[Timestamp] DESC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
