Logistically speaking, both of these are purely restricted by how much storage and processing power you can throw at this.

Practically you would need to go into Settings > All Settings > Orion Polling Settings and configure various retention settings. For example our interface retention settings are:

Orion diagnostics will warn us that these figures are non-standard, and could create large datasets. But we have specific requirements / needs for this and we accordingly have the appropriate processing & storage applied to cope with it. YMMV

Anyway, the above figures will give us a years worth of daily (aggregated) stats for interfaces.

HTH?

Interesting, I was under the assumption that the compute & storage power would be decided by Solarwinds based on a licensing fee for a specific feature & the infra being put to use like a typical SaaS product. Does Solarwinds not use cloud providers (like AWS/Google/Azure) for its reporting feature or other offerings as part of the Orion platform? Is it all deployed on prem at the customer site with the cost being borne completely by the end customer?.

Ahh - I based my reply on our environment as there was no mention of cloud in your original response. We are 100% on prem but they do offer their products for the clouds.

I can't answer your question for that and suggest you reach out to sales in that case.

My question(s) are more related to the scheduling window/retention which I believe should be answered by an SME who deals with hosting solarwinds applications on the cloud. Is there some kind of "report lab" or equivalent for the Cloud platform as well, if yes could you provide me the link for that?
