Retention Policies

You can use data retention policies to average 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.

Using Data Retention Policies

Use the Retention Policies pane of the Server Preferences section of the Server Settings window to create and edit retention policies that can be used to specify how data is stored for a particular device or map. For more information, see Retention Policies.
