📊 Data Retention
Monitron automatically purges old data daily at 3:00 AM:
| Data | Purged After |
|---|---|
| Monitor checks | Retention days |
| Server metrics | Retention days |
| Notification logs | Retention days |
info
Disk space tip: With 50 monitors checking every minute, 90 days of data is roughly 6.5 million check records. Each record is small (~200 bytes), so this is about 1.3 GB. Increase retention to 365 days if you have the disk space!
💡 Timezone
The timezone setting affects:
- How times are displayed in the dashboard
- When scheduled tasks run (weekly reports, data purge)
- Status page timestamps
Individual users can also set their own timezone in their profile.
