Configure Data Retention

[epiphora97]

How or where to configure data retention in docker? for example if I dont want to keep more than 60 days worth of data to keep my volume usage small.

There's no option for this currently, but the oldest data we keep is 30 days. It also doesn't require a lot of storage. The shorter records are averaged to create the longer records, then deleted.

Right now it's about 400 records per system to cover all charts for 30 days, plus another 400 if the system is tracking container data.

We may add a database for the agent to keep more granular data and stream it in if needed. In that case it will definitely be optional and/or configurable.

So, is it already rotated and auto-deleted older than 30 days? I just want to make sure. Because we do not want to fill up our server.
