Nmon for Splunk App intensively uses data model acceleration in almost every user interfaces, reports and dashboards.

The application provides multiple data models that have the acceleration activated by default using "All time" as the time range limit for all data models managing performance and configuration data.
**By default, data models are accelerated with the following settings:**

The Nmon Processing data model is by default accelerated over last 3 months of data.
- metrics related data models are accelerated over a period of 1 year
- others data models are accelerated over the last 30 days

Splunk Accelerated data models provide a great and efficient user experience.

Accelerated data models are massively used in the application, this implementation provides exceptional performances of searches, and a great user experience.
However, data models have a cost in term of storage and system resources utilization for acceleration build and maintenance.

By default, all data models are accelerated over the "All time" period, these settings are managed in the following configuration file:

You can easily customize the acceleration period by creating a local copy of the datamodels.conf under the "local" directory.

The Nmon Performance technical add-ons generates csv flows of data, as such the volume of data to be generated is already really optimised and reduced to the maximum.

However, you can choose to limit licence usage and storing costs by increasing the time between 2 performance collections, a common choice might be to increase this time to 2 or 3 minutes.
