LogicMonitor stores every collected time-series data sample for the retention period defined in your service agreement (3 months to 2+ years). Retention periods for other data types vary.

LogicMonitor preserves full data resolution for forensic analysis of recent issues. To improve readability over longer time periods, widgets and graphs display aggregated data. You can zoom in on graphs to view granular historical data.
