What is an age-out policy?
Age-out policy
An age-out policy is a retention policy for stored data. Data older than the retention period is purged from the database.
NSP creates a policy for each telemetry type, a policy for baselines, and a policy for indicators.
The following table describes the default and maximum age-out values for different policy types. For the baseline and indicator age-out policies, the default and maximum values depend on the data storage type, Postgres or AuxDb.
