XorMon Next Generation (NG) keeps data in
PostgreSQL database with the help of
TimescaleDB extension which allows us to continuously aggregate and compress the data to be stored and accessed more efficiently.
General retention of data
| Time interval | Retention |
| 1 minutes averages | 1 month |
| 5 minutes averages | 3 months |
| 1 hour averages | 6 months |
| 6 hours averages | 1 year |
| 1 day averages | 3 years |
With some exceptions:
Storage, Database, Backup, SAN and LAN data
No 1 minutes data is captured and stored.
| Time interval | Retention |
| 5 minutes averages | 3 months |
| 1 hour averages | 6 months |
| 6 hours averages | 1 year |
| 1 day averages | 3 years |
Capacity data
It is catured once an hour.
| Time interval | Retention |
| 1 hour | 6 months |
| 6 hours averages | 1 year |
| 1 day averages | 3 years |
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 Next Generation (NG) Premium support covers retention changes for customers.
