Editor Monitors may share a retention policy. The retention policy controls how long data is held per rollup period. The editor for Retention policies lets you assign characteristics and monitors to them. The editor contains the following fields: General Retention Policy Options Policy Name-A text identifier for the policy. Description- An optional description for the policy. Detail / Hourly / Daily Data (Days)-How many days to retain the selected data. The amount retained has both a performance and data storage impact. For example, retaining day's information from an active performance SNMP monitor configured with one target's worth of data, retrieved on one minute intervals can consume 0.7 G of database, and require 21 inserts per second. Traffic flow analysis can process and retain even larger amounts of information. Flows that correlate 50%, polled every minute for a day require roughly 109G of database, and require 4500 inserts per second. Active Monitor Members Select from Available Monitors on the left, and click arrows to move the desired monitor(s) to the Selected Monitors on the right. 254 Resource Monitors | Monitoring
