Data Retention
Last updated – 01 September, 2026
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.
Retention Periods by Data Type
In addition to time-series data, LogicMonitor retains the following data types for the periods shown:
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Time-series data | Defined by your service agreement (3 months to 2+ years). |
| Alert history | 30 days to 2 years, depending on your LogicMonitor plan. Note: The maximum 2-year retention period applies only to cleared alerts. |
| Audit Log | Same retention period as alert history defined by your LogicMonitor plan. |
| Trace data | 45 days |
| Collector event history | 7 days |
| Deleted instance history | 30 days If the instance is rediscovered or added again within that period, its history is restored. |
| Resource history | Permanently removed when the resource is deleted. |
| DataSource history | Permanently removed when the DataSource is no longer associated with the resource. |
