Use the Retention Policies pane to create and edit retention policies that can be used to specify how data is stored for a particular device or map.
The Retention Policies pane
Each row shows a Retention Policy, and its setting for retaining Original, 5-minute, Hourly, and Daily data from devices, as well as data from Charts.
You can use data retention policies to consolidate raw data, reducing the amount of data stored. Data retention policies control how often and how much data is averaged and reduced.
A data retention policy can be applied to a specific map, to one or more devices or interfaces on a map, to an individual dataset, or to all maps on an InterMapper Server. Policies also affect the way InterMapper stores chart data.
Use the Create Retention Policy window to define a new retention policy. The same window is used for editing an existing policy.
