What condition requires the file aging mechanism to remove data in Dynatrace OneAgent?

The file aging mechanism in Dynatrace OneAgent is designed to manage storage effectively by ensuring that data does not exceed certain thresholds. Specifically, when the total size of files collected by the OneAgent exceeds 1 GB, it triggers the file aging process. This is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring that the OneAgent does not consume excessive storage resources, which could ultimately impact system performance.

This mechanism is integral to the efficient operation of the OneAgent, allowing it to continuously monitor systems without being hindered by storage limitations. By removing older data when this size threshold is exceeded, it ensures that the OneAgent can keep functioning smoothly and retain the most relevant data for analysis.
