Historic data only going back 1 hour

[martino]

Hi,

I’m relatively new to Netdata and have noticed that historic data only goes back 1 hour. This wasn’t the case before we moved to k8s.

What controls how much historic data is retained for troubleshooting, is it the amount of storage assigned to the pod?

Hi. Are you checking children nodes directly? It sounds like it. k8s setup is parent/child setup. Children nodes have memory mode ram and 1hr history.

• The parent instance is supposed to store historical data from children.
• You need to adjust parent config: db engine config see “Change how long Netdata stores metrics”.
• And parent database PVC size.
