This means that you have access to data with the granularity of 1 minute for up to 1 month in our tools such as Public API, Exporter etc.
Then data with the granularity of 5 minutes for up to 3 months back etc ...
Retentions of all objects can be adjusted without data loss.
Longer retentions:
Require bigger disk space
Might have performance implication (in huge environments, on slows disks etc.)
Note: XorMon Premium support covers retention changes for customers.
