The AppDynamics Controller properties that govern how long metric data is retained in the database

are1:

metrics.ten.min.retention.period: This property specifies the number of days to retain metric data at

10-minute granularity. The default value is 32 days.

metrics.retention.period: This property specifies the number of days to retain metric data at 1-hour

granularity. The default value is 365 days.

metrics.min.retention.period: This property specifies the number of hours to retain metric data at 1-

minute granularity. The default value is 4 hours.

The other options are incorrect because1:

metrics.ten.sec.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The

finest granularity for metric data is 1 minute.

metrics.day.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The

coarsest granularity for metric data is 1 hour.

metrics.week.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The

metric data retention is based on days, not weeks. Reference: Database Size and Data Retention
