How long is time series data retained for a resolution of 1 minute?

For a resolution of 1 minute, time series data retention in Dynatrace is typically set at 14 days. This policy is designed to balance the need for detailed, granular data for short-term analysis against storage costs and capacity. During this 14-day period, users can access and analyze performance metrics at a fine level of detail, which is crucial for identifying trends, monitoring system health, and diagnosing issues. Beyond this retention period, the system may aggregate or downsample the data to reduce storage requirements while still allowing for long-term trend analysis.

Shorter retention periods like 7 or 10 days would not offer the same depth of insight for performance monitoring, whereas a longer period like 30 days may not align with the typical data management strategies within Dynatrace aimed at optimizing performance and resource usage. Thus, selecting 14 days acknowledges the need for a practical balance between detail and data management.
